A New View of Alcohol Addiction
“A moment’s insight is sometimes
worth a life’s experience.”
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
“Knowledge is power.”
-Francis Bacon
The more you know about a problem, the better equipped you are to solve it. By reading this page, you’ll learn more about your alcohol addiction—why you crave alcohol and what it gives you in return.
Alcoholism changes everything about you. It becomes a way of life, a deeply ingrained pattern with physical, emotional, and even spiritual edges. There are many parts to it.
With the new perspective on alcoholism presented on this page, you will take a look at drinking from a drinker’s point of view. This will help you to get acquainted with the drinker—and the non-drinker—inside of you. Then, when you’re ready to quit, you can become the non-drinker without any fear of alcohol.
This six-part perspective shows how alcohol affects the whole person. As you read it, you’ll gain a complete understanding of alcoholism. Not only will you look at the benefits you gain from alcohol, but you’ll also examine the problems it causes.
