First of all we need to take a close look at what alcohol really is and what it does to us, both mentally, physically and spiritually. Now I say spiritually for those of us that believe in something rather than themselves, like the Creator, God or any other supreme force. So if you don’t have a spiritual side, things will be a lot more difficult in understanding the control that alcohol has over us turning the alcohol into your answer to what life has to throw at us.

For most people “alcohol” is connected to a variety of activities that people engage in such as gambling, drugs or other substances; however, the one common factor in all these items is that they are all addictive. And in the end, it is the addiction that will destroy us as it prevents us from recognizing the damage that is occurring around us while we are giving in to it.

Not everyone will understand my point of view if I present it in a purely spiritual sense so I will try to attempt to appeal to everyone’s intellectual side. We all have an inner voice that guides us in our decision making and we have the option to listen to that voice and make good decisions or disregard that voice; if you believe in something a bit greater than yourself, a Creator or a God, you are one step closer to winning your battle against your addictions.

There are many Christian and other religious groups that do give support to help people get through difficult times like trying to stop alcohol addiction, but it is quite normal that people who need help will accept help from anybody who is willing to help. Now if you have already found help from a support group, then I say congratulations as you have made the right decision, and it is so comforting for me that there are so many people around us that are willing to listen and ready to help.

If you have an alcohol addiction and you need help, then I am willing to listen and to help you too, as well as a whole network of other people who previously had an alcohol addiction. Believe in yourself and if you can believe in a superior force, even better. Don’t be afraid to come out of the shadows, but if you want to tackle this matter without other people finding out that you have an alcohol addiction, then please count on me, Ed Philips to guide you on to the path of understanding alcohol and how you can stop drinking alcohol today.
