Question by bonni: Is this an alcoholism problem?
Now I know drinking to escape from reality or to relieve problems is very bad.

I also know that drinking socially (not too drunk) or drinking for the taste is okay.

What if you’re shy and use alcohol to open up and have fun at social events – to be more confident, fun to be around, and outgoing? Is this okay or bad?

Or what if you drink alone sometimes just to have a fun, relaxing night?
Isaac, maybe you don’t think it’s fun but I do. Don’t emphasize your opinions as fact. And FYI, I’m not fat. I’m really athletic and healthy.

Answer by docjp
The primary psychological causal for alcoholism is an intense fear of oneself, taken-on in early childhood and deeply repressed within ones MIND realm.

This fear is unfortunately communicated to the MINDs of individuals around such a person… if they are vulnerable to these “vibrations”. This phenomenon is what causes what is called the “enabler” syndrome.

The main “problem” with treatment today is that few of those who are licensed to treat the alcoholic are actually clear enough psychologically to do so. Since ones own course of psychotherapy is not required today for licensure, the vast majority of those in mental health today are not at all competent to help.

The reason for focusing on “factors” that supposedly contribute to alcoholism is easy to explain when one realizes that those focusing so intently outside of the alcoholic for “reasons”…. have nothing else they can do.

Until the psychological “causal” is eliminated, relapse from a dryout is inevitable.

Peace

Question by cd12117: I need a work of fiction dealing with alcoholism?
I’m in English 11 Honors, and our semester-long assignment is to read a fiction book and relate it to a current issue. I want to do alcoholism, but I’m not sure what book to relate it to. ***IT HAS TO BE A WORK OF FICTION*** Any suggestions? (Please write the title and the author’s name!) Thanks!!
