Recovery is a process, not a destination!
Alcoholism and addiction are very critical and even fatal diseases that can be treated. Our population is showing an overwelming amount of sufferers from this sickness. Those who are afflicted are very ill and if they have any family that they haven't 'burned the bridges' with completely, then the family should do all they can to intervein. This is not an easy task, but there are agencies, support groups, and professional individuals who can help this process. No alcoholic nor addict need ever die from this disease is they have loved ones who can help. If the person had cancer, let's say, you wouldn't turn your back on them, now would you? It's the same with alcoholism and addiction. These people are sick.
If you are a sufferer from alcoholism or addiction, please contact your local crisis hotline and ask for help!
