Alcohol Rehabilitation

What some of you may or may not remember about me is that up until September of last year, I had the luxury of living with an alcoholic who knew nothing more than random excuses to come up with in order to keep herself out of Alcohol Rehab.

She was a difficult person to get along with. I haven’t spoken to her in almost a year and I’m unsure if she’s even still alive at this point considering the drugs she was taking as well. I never liked any of her friends because they all came across as boozers as well. I try, very hard, to give people the benefit of the doubt but when you’re a vicious person who is beyond help – it’s hard to get to that point of understanding.

Many people can be effected by just one person in their lives being an alcoholic, I felt horrible for her children because they were the ones who had to grow up sooner than they should have. Her teenage daughter was more responsible than her and she was cut absolutely no slack in the process. She was going through AA meetings but hitting up a bar afterwards kind of made no sense to anyone.

I came across alcohol-rehab.mobi but unfortunately it was just too late for me. It’s a blog site that shares stories, experiences and knowledge on alcohol addiction. I would have loved to get her to this website but when you’re too far gone for change, I guess there’s no need to help.

I’m sure you’re sitting there thinking that I’m heartless, that’s really not the case. I spent years attempting to help her but none of my efforts, no matter how hard I pushed, really did any good. You can only help someone who’s willing to meet you half way – she wasn’t one to meet you anywhere, unfortunately.

    It is a sad fact but the Alcoholic will only do something about their addiction when they are ready to do so. I suffered from alcoholism for 25 years and I only managed to quit because it was killing me and I was in danger of losing everything. It annoys me to see all the young binge drinkers today, in years to come they will be alcoholics. We are led to believe that drinking is a fun thing to do, bombarded with advertising which glamorizes alcohol and creates an alcoholic culture. Something has to be done about the problem and education has to be the answer.
