  Before You Leave!!! 

Hello Valued Visitor,

First, we want to thank you for visiting our website. We hope that your visit has been informative, beneficial, and helpful.

We have worked very hard to get this website ranking high in the Search Engines so that nice visitors like you are able to find us.  As a result, we don't want you to leave before you are fully aware of all the information on this fine website.

If you look at the left-hand navigation bar, you will see the various topics discussed on this website.  We purposely listed these topics in alphabetical order and carefully included "key terms" that describe the various topics.  We invite you to take a second look at the alcoholics-related topics on this navigation bar---there really is a lot of important information here about alcoholic-related topics!

If you are unable to find what you are looking for, chances are that you will be able to find more relevant information on our alcohol-related "sister websites" listed below:

• About Alcohol Addiction.  Alcohol addiction, also known as alcohol dependence and alcoholism, is a progressive degenerative disease that includes the following four symptoms:  craving, the loss of control, physical dependence, and tolerance.

• About Alcoholism Facts.  Alcoholism has become a major problem throughout many parts of the world.  Ironically, the more "developed" and advanced a nation becomes the more it seems vulnerable to the social and personal problems that are directly or indirectly caused by alcoholism.  In a word, the people of the world need additional "alcohol awareness" and especially "alcoholism help" if they are to become more knowledgeable about and avoid the unhealthy, damaging, and at times, the fatal consequences of alcoholism.

• About Alcohol Rehab. With all of the damaging consequences caused by alcoholism, it makes sense for people to learn how to abstain from drinking, to involve themselves in the alcohol rehab process, and to restore their lives. 

• About Getting Sober.  Getting sober is obviously an important step in overcoming alcoholism and restoring an individual's life.  Everyone with a drinking problem, however, needs to keep in mind that getting sober is only half the battle.  The other half, unfortunately, is staying sober.

• Alcoholics Information.  Individuals with a "drinking problem" and who are addicted to alcohol are defined as "alcoholics."  Some of the characteristics of alcoholics are the following:  they experience increased tolerance over time; their drinking interferes with their family, friends, or work; they experience unsuccessful efforts to reduce their drinking; they continue drinking despite negative consequences such as legal, relationship, or employment problems; they drink more and they drink more frequently; and they suffer from alcohol withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking.

• Alcohol Abuse Info.  This is an extensive informational and educational website about alcohol abuse and the psychological, social, physical, and behavioral problems that can result from alcohol abuse.

• Alcohol Information.  Although alcohol has been used in a number of diverse ways throughout history that can be called "beneficial" it was, however, recognized thousands of years ago that excessive drinking and abuse led to social as well as to personal problems. Due to the fact that people in the industrialized nations know about the damaging consequences of heavy drinking and alcohol abuse, why do so many people in these nations seem to gamble with their futures by submitted themselves to the deleterious and unhealthy effects of excessive drinking?

• Alcohol Recovery Info.  The ultimate goal of alcohol recovery is to help the alcoholic stop his or her addictive behavior so that he or she can avoid the social, emotional, physical, legal, and financial consequences that are usually caused by alcoholism.

• Alcohol Treatment Info.   As discussed on this fine website, alcohol treatment programs usually use a combination of alcohol treatment medications and counseling to help a person stop drinking.  For treatment to work, alcoholics need to acknowledge that they have a drinking problem, they must want to quit drinking, and they need to find an alcohol treatment program that works for them.
