What comes to mind when u hear the word "alcoholic"?

Answer 1

A sickness, someone who is going through, or has gone through something so bad, they are trying to escape by drinking, to dull the pain, to forget. Even though it's destructive, it's a coping mechanism for them in some way and they need help to deal with whatever they are going through and learn to cope without alcohol.

Answer 3

Brother in law is what comes to mind.............He has been to dry out 3 times. Did not work. OUI 3 times. Many PI's. Lost 4 jobs because of alcohol. Makes up excuses not to go to work so he can drink. He uses others peoples problems as a crutch to drink. It is everyones fault EXCEPT his. Prime example, His last OUI it was someone elses fault he got picked up for drinking because they would not go buy his beer. Threatened with prison time. Did not phase him. Another OUI, that makes 4. Judge going to put him in a correctional facility for a year or so. And he is having a cow about it. He as no friends. As for family, you can see what is happening to him. Alcoholism makes you loose everything you have in life. Your family, your home, your friends. Even your life.

Answer 4

Myself! I also think of my inability to consume alcohol due to previous events in my life. I also think of professors, doctors, lawyers, students and many other successful people who suffer from alcoholism.

I think the term 'alcoholic' is still such a stigmatized word, people are unable to understand the disease in its entirely. Alcoholism is a symptom of numerous emotional dysfunctions- since a person who consumes alcohol alcoholically is merely self medicating, considering alcohol itself is a toxin a person who heavily consumes a toxin will end up dead either due to actions while inebriated or the physical deterioration.

I am an alcoholic recovering from alcoholism on the daily.

Depression, Tension & Increase of will-power.



Increasing the will-power : Our mind has a great effect on these glands. For example, continuous fear damages the Pituitary gland and makes one timid. Similarly,tension and worry disturb the Pineal gland and so leads to high B.P. and as Pineal gland controls other glands it also disturbs other glands and digestive system. In modern times, strees-tension or worry-fear have increased and they often disturb these endocrine glands. If these endocrine glands are not treated immediately, it might lead to malfunctioning of other glands of the body. As these glands are interrelated, whenever one gland is disturbed, the other glands also get disturbed. So, when you press on the points of these endocrine glands you will feel pain on points of more than one gland especially in case of chronic diseases. Therefore, it is very improtant to give Acupressure treatment on all the endocrine glands and keep them under proper control.

These glands also control the mind (the will-power). So in order to get rid of bad habits like smoking, drinking, drug addiction or even overeating, it is extremely necessary to give treatment on all endocrine glands for at least, fifteen days. Because, these people lack the necessary will-power to give up bad habits, they often break their vows to stop such bad habits and so they are considered unreliable. However, a treatment of fifteen days will give them necessary will-power to stop these bad habits after that. And they will be free from the withdrawal symptoms of stopping these bad habits.

Nervous tension : In the modern days because of fast life and loss of contentment,nervous tension keeps on building up increasingly, tending to damage our mind and health.

C U R E : (1) While the patient is lying on the back, bend all the toes of both legs, backward. It may hurt but give little more pressure and bend them as much as possible. Repeat this three times a day till the tension is removed.

(2) Clasp your hands tightly interlocking the fingers. Then with left hand fingers press on the back of the right hand and then with right hand fingers, press on the back of the left hand. repeat for about 1 to 2 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day.
