Are you questioning your relationship with alcohol? Do you suffer from “hangxiety”…from the worry and regret you have about your drinking? Have you stopped drinking for weeks or months but always find yourself going back to alcohol? Are you starting to worry more about what drinking may be doing to your mental and physical health? If any or all of the above sound like you, then The Gray Area Drinker is a must-listen! This book is for those who don’t have a complete dependency on alcohol but certainly rely on it more than others.

Detoxification is the first stage of drug abuse recovery. It entails a period after your last drink that you devote to ridding all the alcoholic beverages or toxins within you to be able to start treatment with a clean slate. When you stop drinking, it takes up to 10 days for the alcohol to altogether leave your system. It’s a tricky time. Most people struggle in the early days. You get cravings, and your thinking becomes emotional.

Of course, a medically supervised detox is always highly recommended. However, not everyone takes this route, at least not every time they need to sober up. I sure didn’t. If I went to the county detox or hospital every single time I went through what I came to call "The Fear", they would have probably just started turning me away, or I’d be broke. I was a chronic relapser, so I’ve had a lot of practice. My pattern was to take down a liter of vodka per day - plus other miscellaneous party favors when money was good - until I got too sick to work, function, or continue drinking.

Mrs. Delaney’s first introduction to AA was when her brother, Oscar, sobered up with the help of Bill Wilson. It was seven years later, after battling her own alcoholism that she found herself, one of the first women, in the rooms of AA. Mrs. D was a pioneer in the field of alcoholism treatment and was instrumental in the treatment and recovery of many alcoholics and their family members.

One of the first longtime sober members of AA talks about the people, events, and development of ideas and practices that created AA, including Ebby, Bill Wilson, and the Oxford Group; Hank Parkhurst, Ruth Hock, and the writing of the Big Book; how AA got the name Alcoholics Anonymous; Jack Alexander and the Saturday Evening Post article; The 12 Traditions; and more.

En France, on s'avoue rarement alcoolique. Quand on boit on est festif, irrévérent, drôle. Français. Un jour pourtant, Claire arrête de boire. Elle prend conscience que cet alcool, prétendument bon-vivant, est en vérité en train de ronger sa vie. Il noyaute ses journées, altère sa pensée, abîme ses relations. En retraçant son passé, elle découvre à quel point l'alcool a été le pilier de sa construction et de son personnage de femme. "Sans alcool" est le journal de son sevrage. Un chemin tortueux, parfois rocambolesque, à travers son intimité.

With this practical guide, we explore the miracle of recovery from dependency and provide insight into the addiction phenomena. Steering away from a one-dimensional approach, addiction is recognized as a multi-dimensional problem that requires examination of the mind, body, and social aspects of our existence. I provide practical advice on how to return your identity’s locus of control to where it is supposed to be, and that is, with "you". Your sense of identity may indeed become lost with addiction and it needs to be found again and actively reclaimed.

A topic talk about emotions, alcoholism, and recovery. Emotions are a thing we all have most of and know little about. I'm going to talk not about love but the negative feelings; my message on them is a simple one: Handle them or they will handle you. Use an Alanon or Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor; don't keep your problems to yourself, they get bigger when you do that. What we focus on gets bigger, focus on negativity and unhappiness grows; focus on the good and beautiful in this world and happiness grows.
