Alcoholism myths and drinking frustrations: Denial <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many people are suffering because of alcoholism myths and concoctions. With the help of doctor Dalal Akoury MD and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, we are going to be sharing with you some of the alcoholism myths and concoctions so that you can make the right decisions in the treatment approach you choose. There are so many myths around drinking and we are going to share with you just but a few as follows:<\/p>\n

Alcoholism myths and drinking frustrations: I can stop drinking anytime I want to <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

How I wish that this was true but more likely, you can\u2019t but the bottom line is that this is yet another excuse to keep drinking. The truth is you don\u2019t want to stop. By telling yourself that you can quit makes you feel in control, despite all evidence to the contrary and no matter the damage its doing.<\/p>\n

My drinking is my problem<\/a>. I\u2019m the one it hurts, so no one has the right to tell me to stop<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doctor Akoury agrees with you that it\u2019s true that the decision to quit drinking is up to you. But the truth is you are deceiving yourself if you think that your drinking hurts no one else but you. Alcoholism affects everyone around you and especially the people closest to you. Your problem is<\/em> their problem.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t drink every day, so I can\u2019t be an alcoholic OR I only drink wine or beer, so I can\u2019t be an alcoholic<\/em> \u2013 Remember that alcoholism is NOT defined by what you drink, when you drink it, or even how much you drink. It\u2019s all about the EFFECTS of your drinking that define a problem. Therefore if your drinking is causing problems in your home or work life, you have a drinking problem it therefore means that whether you drink daily or only on the weekends, down shots of tequila or stick to wine, drink three bottles of beers a day or three bottles of whiskey if they produce the negative effects then you have a problem which needs to be fixed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not an alcoholic because I have a job and I\u2019m doing okay<\/em> – You don\u2019t have to be homeless and drinking out of a brown paper bag to be an alcoholic. Many alcoholics are able to hold down jobs, get through school, and provide for their families. Some are even able to excel. But just because you\u2019re a high-functioning alcoholic doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not putting yourself or others in danger. Over time, the effects will catch up with you.<\/p>\n

Drinking is not a \u201creal\u201d addiction like drug abuse<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>– Alcohol is a drug, and alcoholism is every bit as damaging as drug addiction. Alcohol addiction causes changes in the body and brain, and long-term alcohol abuse can have devastating effects on your health, your career and your relationships. Alcoholics go through physical withdrawal when they stop drinking, just like drug users do when they quit.<\/p>\n

Finally thought not an illicit drug, alcohol is a killer substance. The little controls put by different authorities are very inconsequential when it comes to the real damages associated with alcohol abuse. We have discussed a lot but take note, your health must come first and not the little pleasure you get when taking alcohol with your friends. Experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury care illustrates this with the wise say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Therefore you can either begin the journey of destruction by taking the first sip or start the recovery journey by acknowledging that you have a problem that needs to be fixed and then call doctor Akoury to schedule for an appointment with her for the commencement of your recovery journey.<\/p>\n
