Here is an excerpt from a rather tragic story about a young Irish man who through dire life circumstances developed problem drinking at the age of 14. It’s a familiar story and I personally can relate to a lot of the circumstances that contributed to his drinking. Alcohol really is a cancer in this world, it destroys lives and yet it is legal. It doesn’t make much sense to me, but I have been sober since 2006 and I’ll never return to drinking.

If you have a problem with alcoholism I recommend that you download my ebook, which is available here in the meantime please visit the site below to read about how alcoholism has affected poor Shane’s life.

Shane’s Alcoholism Story: I Think I Could Be an Alcoholic or en Route

I decided to take a break from drinking to see if I could get my head together which turned into a 3 month detox which was really hard and tough. I eventually crumbled and went back on alcohol really hard. I hadn’t stopped drinking since then … It won’t be easy – but I promise you if you can quit drinking and work on yourself – emotionally, spiritually and physically – you’ll feel like a new person and going back to a life of drinking will be the last thing you’ll want. …

Alcohol Advertising, teenage drinking and binge drinking

I get so annoyed about the glamorization of alcohol and the advertisers who bombard us with their products in the media. It is no wonder that alcoholism, teenage drinking and binge drinking are a problem. When will our governments wake up and put a ban on all alcohol advertising? It is all very well adding a message to the advert telling people to drink sensibly, I’m sure every alcoholic and potential alcoholic takes that advice on board…not!

It took me 25 years to be able to beat my addiction and what help did I get? Nada…There are too few resources available for us alcoholics. Alcoholics Anonymous was the only resource I was given when I quit and it didn’t help me one iota. When I joined AA I was criticized because I believed in self empowerment and those nice people at AA told me:

You’re a Dry drunk

You’re going to die

It’s our way or the highway…

What a wonderful support network the AA provides. I quit AA after three sessions and gave up entirely on my own. That was in April 2006 and I haven’t had a drop since. If you are looking for a successful way to quit drinking join my forum and interact with other people who are managing to stay sober without AA or you can buy my book for less than the cost of a night out.

All proceeds from book sales go towards maintaining this site and helping people just like you to beat their addiction, here’s the link:
