Showing results for "Method" in Alcoholism

After 20 years of fighting and failing to get sober using abstinence-based methods, journalist Katie Herzog found a simple, inexpensive, and effective way to take control over alcohol. Part memoir, part guidebook, Drink Your Way Sober shares Herzog’s recovery journey as well her keen observations of drinking and life. She dives into the science and history of addiction treatment to discover why we treat alcohol use disorder the way we do—and why abstinence-based programs like Alcohol Anonymous don’t always work.

I understand how it feels to be worried about your drinking because for nearly 20 years I struggled with my own problem. I tried everything to stop drinking alcohol, from creating silly rules about what I was "allowed" to drink to going through torturous "dry months" and taking dangerous prescription-only medication! Absolutely nothing I tried worked until I dramatically changed my thinking.

Esta obra se centra en el proceso de recuperación de las personas adictas, desde el enfoque Gestalt, a través del modelo de automodulación. Describe la adicción buscando las raíces de la recuperación, más allá de la sobriedad. Esta apuesta es una alternativa a los modelos tradicionales que solo se enfocan en el dejar de consumir. Michael Craig Clemmens, desde su experiencia personal y profesional, identifica a la persona adicta como un cliente que necesita trabajar sus conflictos particulares, no los "problemas de los adictos".

El manual de A.A. sobre cómo mantenerse sobrio en las circunstancias de todos los días, este libro muy leído explica por medio de ejemplos sencillos cómo los miembros de A.A. de todas partes del mundo viven sus vidas al máximo y se manteen sobrios un día a la vez. Palabras del prólogo: “[R]esulta que vivir sobrio no es nada triste, ni aburrido ni incómodo, como nos habíamos temido; por el contrario, empezamos a disfrutar la vida sin beber y a encontrarla mucho más emocionante que la que vivíamos en nuestra época de bebedores”.

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.
