| Any human who drinks enough alcohol over enough time will become alcoholic. For some, it takes large quantities and long periods and for others, small quantities and short periods. Genetic predisposition to easy development of alcoholism is evidenced in differing proportions in differing ethnic groups. There are many symptoms of chronic alcoholism. As paradoxical as it seems, therefore, the first phase in any treatment approach to the alcoholic, even the alcoholic who has specifically presented himself to obtain help with his drinking problem, must center on his being confronted with the inescapable fact of his alcoholism. Even with persistent confrontations, it may take 3-6 months before the alcoholic's efforts to rebuild his denial system taper off, and this will be the time of greatest danger that he will drop back out of treatment. Alcoholics Anonymous, made up of recovering alcoholics, is as successful as any treatment program and there is no fee. |
