Addiction is a lifelong challenge .... however change is possible. Abstinence/Sobriety, groups, getting a sponsor, wanting to change, willing to fight to fight daily to overcome, letting go of people, places, and things that are connected to the addiction behavior and practice, getting a positive/healthy support system, and attend weekly counseling individual sessions
Yes but you have to stop drinking alcohol for this to take effect
yes
Yes it is possible. It is most effective when you can treat the physical components of addiction with medication and the psychological, behavioral and cognitive components with therapy and support. While AA might be the most well known treatment source, there are other effective and scientifically backed treatments that can be used instead of AA or in conjunction with it.
YES
Overcoming an addiction to alcohol can be a long and bumpy road. At times, it may even feel impossible. But it's not. If you're ready to stop drinking and willing to get the support you need, you can recover from alcoholism and alcohol abuse—no matter how heavy your drinking or how powerless you feel.
