I have a friend who happens to be addicted to alcohol. Since she stopped drinking two days ago, she has been experiencing what I think are withdrawal symptoms. She’s having a hard time sleeping, and when she does get to sleep, she experiences bad dreams. She’s also nauseous a lot of times, and her hands get clammy. I’ve already told her to seek medical help, but she’s stubborn and doesn’t want to. Will this go away?

Life, especially everyday life, and overall human life fulfillment, depends a great deal upon a healthy balance in terms of what you do every day, what your short term goals, and long term goals are; or, perhaps dreams for many. Quite simply, eat until you are full, no more, no less!!! Or? Eat until you are slightly less than full, which is ideal, because anything more than that causes you pain (from being too full, to in some case becoming obese, or overweight.) Psychology tells us that we essentially need three things to survive: food (including water), sleep, and a sexual outlet of some sort…lack of any one or more of these things means in some cases either death, or a disturbance in life until the need is in some way met! You cannot do anything exclusively without tiring of it! Life is very much about change; nature, and change, are very much synonymous. You need time to work, time to eat, time to sleep, time to relax, time to be alone, time to dream, and to fantasize…in essence, life cannot be more about any one thing to the point of detriment to other important areas of your life – no one thing can be done exclusively – without causing a disturbance to the self, and often to society, and in the case of alcoholism and addiction, even to family members and loved one’s.

An addictive personality, or a “proneness to addictive behavior “, often forms from an “unmet need “ in life, sometimes not even perceptible to the mind of the afflicted (being as it is subconscious, occurring in early childhood perhaps, and beyond the reach of cognitive abilities or memory. Hypnosis, or psychotherapy, is sometimes prescribed.) This “unmet need “ tries to “meet “ itself by means of the self bonding with an activity, a drug perhaps…i.e. a “fix “! In that the “unmet need “ is trying to meet itself, and satisfy itself by artificial means, one becomes addicted to a certain behavior or activity that brings physical gratification instead of emotional satisfaction; a sort of “pseudo replacement “ for the real “unmet need “.

Who needs alcohol rehab?

Alcohol rehab is the not discussed as much in the public domain as drug rehab, with stories most weeks in the press about celebrities going in to residential rehabilitation centres for drug addiction. Whilst drugs and drug rehab are discussed widely, it is in fact alcohol that is the much bigger killer. For every drug-related death, there are 10 people who die from alcohol-related illnesses, sudden death or accidents. Alcohol rehab in a residential environment is an intensive treatment method, which can stop the inevitable decline of the alcoholic towards a premature death. Whilst in alcohol rehab, other addictions are often uncovered as well and can be very successfully treated. In short, anyone with a dependence upon alcohol can benefit from alcohol rehab – you don’t have to lose everything before benefiting from specialist treatment for alcoholism.

go into treatment centers..sometimes for months. Yet people who are withdrawing from medications for depression and/or anxiety are expected to go on with their normal lives, working, functioning as if everything was normal. When people withdraw from anti-depressants, they experience horrible withdrawal symptoms, often for months. Shouldn’t they also be admitted to a treatment center or hospital until they can function normally?
If people admit themselves to the hospital without a referral from their doctor, they could be in jeopardy of losing their job. It should be routine to offer a patient a referral to a hospital or rehab center when withdrawing from anti-depressants.

I was diagnosed with bulimia and major depressive disorder two years ago, but I have dealt with them for four years. After going into treatment for the bulimia I became addicted to alcohol. I have almost reached sobriety in the past month, with the exception of a few weekends. I am becoming increasingly depressed and keep returning to my old habits of bulimia and “self-medication.” I don’t know how to live without addiction and still be happy, and with the economy the way it is I don’t think I can afford to return to therapy. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Can an addiction to alcohol be cured? Any number of high-priced private health clinics would like to give a clear-cut answer to this question, but the traditional understanding of groups such as ‘Alcoholics Anonymous’ is that alcohol addiction can never be cured, but only controlled.
