Obviously, anyone who is an alcoholic and never quits drinking will never recover and
may die drunk depending on wether they die from their primary disease or some other related cause, however, according to the study, 97% of those who do remain abstinent will end up relapsing within 10 years. My point in mentioning this article was simply to say that, if the study is true and accurate, it is rather dissapointing and not exactly a great morale booster for someone like myself who has tried to quit drinking over and over again and tried a number of ways to achieve this with no success so far.
