Hitting rock bottom
Well don't know how long this post will last, but as you will know from this post I am not promoting anything as I was last night as such.
Think its 50 times harder for alcoholics to give up drink if they visit a doctor knowing that they haven't reached the last walk as they say, in other words you have LFT's and it comes back that at this stage your liver is not damaged and the doctor says if you carrying drinking like you are the liver will be damaged.
Now to me this is the hardest stage of trying to give up because people at this stage DO think right I will carry on drinking because I am so called fit and healthy.
Many alcoholics do tend to ignore this advice and carry on regardless, don't know if I am making much sense but my point is do people with addiction actually only discover the true risks when its to late.
I personally think unless you hit rock bottom or get a good kick up the back side or a life scare people will carry on struggling to give up this horrible addiction.
