Hitting Rock Bottom
Many alcoholics find it usually takes a life altering event for them to come to terms with their addiction and seek help. This may be losing your job, friendship, being in a car accident, or losing your family. It is important to remember that everyone has their own rock bottom, and it will vary from person to person. Hitting rock bottom can best be described as the process any alcoholic or addict goes through to come to terms with their addiction. This process can be a difficult one as it is asking addicts to admit that they have a problem and realize that their addiction is not only causing physical but emotional harm to themselves and their loved ones. The moment you realize you have had enough of your addiction controlling your life and causing harm is the moment you emerge from your denial. This is a difficult process that many alcoholics have to go through to take the necessary steps to recovery.
The Mind Sabotaging Itself
A leading substance abuse counselor; Dr. David Karol Gore from Atlanta; strongly believes that any form of addiction is the only illness in which people can remain unaware to the fact they are suffering from an ailment that can be potentially life threatening. This is largely due to denial on the part of the addict and can be dangerous for your health and well being. If you break your leg, you will require immediate medical attention; your body and mind works together to make it obvious that the injured limb will not work until it is treated. The opposite is true with alcohol addiction, even when the physical symptoms manifest themselves, the disease then sabotages the message between the brain and the body to keep you addicted and trapped. Denial is the marker of addiction and makes you believe that either you do not have a problem with alcohol or that it is not that bad… yet.
What now?
