Q&A: Alcoholism to sobriety, then later social drinking?

July 26, 2010 - 1:13 pm 2 Comments

Question by kittenl182: Alcoholism to sobriety, then later social drinking?
I understand that alcoholism is a disease/condition and that it’s defined as a person who has no control over their drinking, usually combined with depression and that abstinence is the only “cure” (for lack of a better term).

What I want to know is, is it possible for a true alcoholic to reach sobriety for a long time (and possibly cure their depression), and later be able to control their drinking such as in social settings? Are there cases of rehabilitation in such a manner?

Best answer:

Answer by Me K
NO…Too many alcoholics fall off the wagon and can’t get back on. I come from a family of alcoholism…on my dad’s side…I won’t go into this because it’s not what you asked, but let’s just say he helped DESTROY us!!!!!! I am the ONLY one who doesn’t drink and that is ONLY because of my son. I have to be the example he needs. I quit drinking 5 years and when he was young, started back occasionally…Occasionally got to be more often, until I “visioned” my son 10 years later, getting ready to go out with friends, and I said, don’t be out drinking tonight and he said, why not you do it? Then and there, I swore, I’d NEVER drink again!!!!!! Do I still crave it? YES!!!! Was I an alcoholic? I honestly think I was and if it wasn’t for my son, I would have my liver messed up and all the problems, my brothers have.

Question by Mill Boon: What are the recommended treatments for a person with alcoholism and drug problem at the same time?
Substance abuse is a big problem nowadays. Many people have seek for various kinds of early intervention in order to be treated. I would just like to know, if going to a rehabilitation center is the right thing to do for a person with these addiction problems.

Best answer:

Answer by PJ
Addiction is addiction.

Also – the treatment people make money whether their treatment is effective or not. They don’t have to come up with a different plan for different addictions.

The court doesn’t care what kind of treatment you get – as long as you get treatment. Mostly rehab and treatment are ineffective.
