Alcoholics Anonymous: A God Send

By: Ed Philips
 

Today's society is really hard hit by the effects of the disease known as alcoholism. Overcoming the disease means first recognising the symptoms, followed by the difficult step of owning up to the fact that you are an alcoholic. What makes this really tough is that there are no written guide line on the quantities consumed that make you an alcoholic.

The first signs of alcoholism are the need for regular daily consumptions, always drinking larger quantities and the beginning of memory lapses. If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, then the bad news is that you are on the road to alcoholism. The good news is that it is curable with just good old will power and that even the worst case have managed. Will power on your own isn't always so easy, so the second step is to join a self help group like Alcoholics Anonymous, which will help you along.

Alcoholics Anonymous is an organisation consisting of people who currently are or have been Alcoholics. These people have the experience of knowing what life means as an alcoholic and how difficult it is to admit to it and eventually stop. The consequences of being an alcoholic could mean loosing your job or even your partner, and these people will be able to guide you through all of these problems and show you the dry way out.

The best part about Alcoholics Anonymous is that since almost everybody here is or has been through a similar or a worse phase than what you are presently going through, there is nobody who will judge you, look down upon you, or think that you are weak. It is the best place to come to terms with reality and try to turn over a new leaf.

The name Alcoholics Anonymous is symbolic of the fact that you can be anybody and your identity will not be asked if you so wish and never revealed. There are no attendance records or membership information in Alcoholics Anonymous and you can easily turn all your attention to getting rid of your alcoholism problem instead of thinking about what people will think or what will happen if someone comes to know about your problem.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a wonderful organisation with no commercial interests and with a non profit making status. Members are free to attend meetings as the wish, and should you fail to attend a meeting, nobody will come knocking on your door. There are no membership registers and your identity will always remain anonymous.

Many people are afraid that they might end up meeting friends, neighbors or relatives at their local Alcoholics Anonymous center and then their secret will be out. A point to consider here is that these people who you might know are also there because they are suffering from the same or even a worse problem than you are; but being a part of Alcoholics Anonymous, these people will never reveal your identity or your problem to outsiders.
