How An Addiction To Alcohol Will Cut Your Life Short

For anyone that has an addiction to alcohol you must know how an addiction to alcohol will cut your life short. You may not know when or how your life could be snuffed out and cut short, but sooner or later, if you continue to drink alcohol and abuse it to the point that you need it every single day, something is bound to happen in your life that will be caused by your addiction to alcohol.

So many alcoholics worry about their health, as I did for some time, but do you think that was enough to make the alcoholic, or myself stop drinking alcohol and start to live a life of sobriety?

The answer would be no, worrying about our health wasn't enough to make us quit drinking alcohol. Sometimes it may take something so bad to happen in the alcoholics life in order for them to really see the light and stop drinking forever.

Having your life cut short because of an addiction to alcohol will come into the alcoholics mind now and then as it did for me. We really deep down inside know that we are doing harm to our bodies each time we go on that drinking binge. I know we are all in denial and just don't want to believe that we have an addiction to alcohol even though many people have told us and deep down we really know that we do have that addiction that will catch up with us sooner or later. Sad but true.

None of us are indestructible, although we may think so as we pound down our alcohol each and everyday of our lives.

The big thing here is that we know we are killing ourselves slow but sure, but still we are weak to our addiction and just don't have the willpower to ever say no, I have had enough and simply stop drinking alcohol.

It is a huge step for the alcoholic to walk away from an addiction to alcohol that they have had for some many years. I know this because I was one of those alcoholic that first lived in denial and second, scared to death to stop drinking thinking will I get sick, have the DTs and everything that goes along with stopping drinking and doing it cold turkey as I did. Believe me, many things crossed my mind when I finally said I have had enough and just stop drinking.

You have to be in the right frame of mind when you are about to take on sobriety and fight back at the demons that have run your life for so long. If you have it in your heart and soul that you want to be clean and sober again and live the life of sobriety, then you are on the way to living a better life and one of sobriety.

It is all the way or no way my friends. What I mean is that you can not try to become sober with the intent that you can possibly drink alcohol now and then. You must NOT do this half ass. It's all or nothing!

You can not have in your mind whatsoever, that if you can go through a month or so without drinking alcohol you are cured and it would be safe to have a drink or so. NOT the case, because if you have an addiction to alcohol you can not cheat by doing what I just mentioned. You are then going to fire up those inner demons, and believe me, once those demons get a taste of that poison again they WILL NOT let you go so easily this time.

So, it is a matter of you want sobriety in your life again and surrender to your addiction to alcohol or just continue on the road to self destruction by drinking and abusing alcohol. It is a matter if you want to live a long, healthy and happy life or just have your addiction to alcohol cut your own life short.

IT IS ALL YOUR CHOICE. MAKE IT RIGHT, AND MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. MAKING THAT DECISION TO STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL FOREVER WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE!
