Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by xandra: Have ever you try alcohol withdrawal symptoms? Do anyone know how long it takes to recover?
I had drink a plenty of red wine every night for a year? Then I day I stoped and suddenly the second day I started to have insomnia. Almost 3 months. I try valerian and melatonin only sometimes works. Now I still don’t know the reason that I can’t sleep well because when I don’t need to work next day I sleep better. Maybe job stress.
Don’t say to me I need 18 months to recover.

It’s so easy and fast for them to get addicted and yet it takes such a long time to get over the attachment to the drug/alcohol. Why is this so?

Answer by alani ts
Addiction recovery happens to be a process that may take a lifetime. This is due to the fact that drug or alcohol addiction is a chronic illness. Recovery does not stop with a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program. That is only the start of it. Once the person comes back to the outside world, he will once again be faced with a lot of temptations that he will have to keep struggling against. Certain measures must be taken so that the individual won’t get addicted again. It takes a lot of discipline and willpower. Having a network of support will be very helpful too.
