Neeranam Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Off topic, but I would be most interested in your views on AA, and how effective that organisation is. I'd be interested to know too - from someone with lots of experience with drunks on the streets - what's the most successful method that you've seen with them?

jumnien Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Neeranam, My experience, having spent two years working in an alcohol and drug treatment center in California, is that TREATMENT WORKS! Yes, many people need multiple attempts at treatment before they achieve a stable sobriety. The single attempt success statistics are low, just as they would be with obese people dieting. But you wouldn't tell an obese person that dieting doesn't work because they've tried it twice and they are still heavy. Perserverance, coupled with the progressive nature of the disease, pays off... Most treatment programs are based on 12-step programs. A minority are based on faith-based programs (various churches or the Salvation Army) which can also be successful. In either case, the active involvement in a community which respects and encourages sobriety is a key to success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falux Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm an active member of the society, working over 12 hours most of the days. But I still think that I drink way too much on the few hours left, so this subject interests me very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still think that I drink way too much on the few hours left, so this subject interests me very much. It is good to evaluate the role of alcohol in your life. You don't have to be alcoholic to benefit from a change in your drinking habits. If you are alcoholic, you'll benefit tremendously in your pursuit of sobriety. Keep an open mind...

Jai Dee Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 In either case, the active involvement in a community which respects and encourages sobriety is a key to success. Spousal and/or family support and understanding is also very much a requisite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spousal and/or family support and understanding is also very much a requisite. Well, I would say spousal and family support is "desireable", but not a requisite. Recovery is possible, though more difficult, even without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
