Whether you view alcoholism as a disease, an addiction, or both, there’s no doubting that alcholism needs treatment. We also know that the person who is struggling with alcohol wants to be helped before he or she can be helped.
The toughest part, most say, is by accepting the diagnosis – accepting that you have a problem with alcohol, that you are an alcoholic. Then, you need to decide what type of treatment you think you need. There’s no one-size-fits-all treatment for alcoholism. For some people, cold turkey works and remains successful, for others, it wouldn’t get them anywhere.

i have an alcholoic friend that has had treatment in rehabs before he does fine on that drug that is called anabuse. i didnt probsbly spell it right. but he is drinking again says he doesnt want to quit. i am guilty of enablying him in the past with giving him money for liquer. but i am not doing that anymore a true alcholhoic well get his liquer any he can if he really wants it. from my experiences of alcoholic friends.
I don’t believe that it is completely necessary for an addict to recognize that he is an alcoholic at the beginning of treatment. “You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink”…but you can make him thirsty. :)
