Answer 3

The Alcoholic has to WANT to dry out, but to stay sober and live a good life, then that individual should 1. dry out first and 2. attend as many AA meetings as possible. 90 meetings in 90 days is recommended - per a good friend of mine who is in the program. He has been sober for 28 years and is happy, healthy and prosperous now. But as I said - the DRUNK has to WANT to be sober!

Answer 4

Some people quit for good with one try others quit for good after 50 trys, you just have to stick with it and not give up

Answer 5

Depends on so much. Realistically, slim to none, but a person shouldn't give up.

Answer 6

It doesn't matter how many times you try, you have to want to do it. You (or whoever) obviously didn't want to do it before if you failed. Will power and the will to live is a must!

Answer 7

The 4Th time may be the magic number....just don't quit quitting.

Answer 8

Depends what the weathers like!

Answer 9

Per AA .............The rule of thirds ........ 33% will make it the first treatment......33% will make it after numerous treatments...... 33% will never make it..........

God Bless ya!!

Answer 10

* Am I an alcoholic?
If you repeatedly drink more than you intend or want to, or if you get into trouble when you drink you may be an alcoholic.
Only you can decide. No one in A.A. will tell you whether you are or not.
* What can I do if I am worried about my drinking?
Seek help. Alcoholics Anonymous can help.
* What is Alcoholics Anonymous?
We are a Fellowship of men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking and have found ourselves in various sorts of trouble as a result of drink. We attempt—most of us successfully—to create a satisfactory way of life without alcohol. For this we find we need the help and support of other alcoholics in A.A.
* If I go to an A.A. meeting, does that commit me to anything?
No. A.A. keeps no membership files, or attendance records. You need disclose nothing about yourself. No one will bother you if you don’t want to come back.
* What happens if I meet people I know in A.A?
They will be there for the same reason you are there. They will not disclose your identity to outsiders. At A.A. you retain as much anonymity as you wish. That is one of the reasons we call ourselves Alcoholics Anonymous.
* What happens at an A.A. meeting?
An A.A. meeting may take one of several forms, but at any meeting you will find alcoholics talking about what drink did to their lives and personalities, what actions they took to deal with this, and how they are living their lives today.
* How can this help me with my drink problem?
We in A.A. know what it is like to be addicted to alcohol, and to be unable to keep promises made to others and ourselves that we will stop drinking. We are not professional therapists. Our only qualification for helping others to recover from alcoholism is that we have recovered ourselves, but problem drinkers coming to us know that recovery is possible because they see people who have done it.
* Why do A.A.s keep on going to meetings after they are cured?
We in the fellowship of A.A. believe there is no such thing as a cure for alcoholism. We can never return to normal drinking, and our ability to stay away from alcohol depends on maintaining our physical, mental, and spiritual health. This we can achieve by going to meetings regularly and putting into practice what we learn there. In addition, we find it helps us to stay sober if we help other alcoholics.
* How do I join A.A.?
You are an A.A. member if and when you say so. The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking, and many of us were not very wholehearted about that when we first approached A.A.
* How much does A.A. membership cost?
There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership. An A.A. group will usually have a collection during the meeting to cover running expenses, such as rent, coffee, etc., and to this all members are free to contribute as much or as little as they wish.
* Is A.A. a religious organization?
No. Nor is it allied to any religious organisation.
* There’s a lot of talk about God, though, isn’t there?
The majority of A.A. members believe that we have found the solution to our drinking problem not through individual willpower, but through a power greater than ourselves. However, everyone defines this power as he or she wishes. Many people call it God, others think it is the collective therapy of A.A, still others don’t believe in it at all. There is room in A.A. for people of all shades of belief and nonbelief.
* Can I bring my family to an A.A. meeting?
Family members or close friends are welcome at “Open” A.A. meetings. Discuss this with your local contact.
* What advice do you give new members?
In our experience, the people who recover in A.A. are those who:
(1) stay away from the first drink;
(2) attend A.A. meetings regularly;
(3) seek out the people in A.A. who have successfully stayed sober for some time;
(4) try to put into practice the A.A. program of recovery.
* How can I contact A.A.?
Look for Alcoholics Anonymous in your local telephone directory.In many places a local A.A number is also included in the useful numbers section. These telephones are manned by volunteers who will be happy to answer your questions, or put you in touch with those who can. If there is no A.A. telephone service close to you, write or phone the A.A. General Service Office for Great Britain.
