If you are a "heavy drinker" then you are on your way to a normal life after a period of adjustment. Your physical condition has been restored to normal.

For the alcoholic of the type talked about in AA's "The Doctors Opinion" and "How It Works" the physical restoration is only the beginning as the true cause of the disease lies in the Spiritual condition. "How It Works" states that "even those with grave emotional and mental disorders do recover if they have the capacity to be honest".
If you are an Alcoholic as described in The Doctors Opinion then the treatment is the 12 Steps.

All the best to everyone.
