Alcohol Recovery is a Life Long Process

There is still no known cure for alcoholism. It is a progressive brain disorder. If someone really is an alcoholic, their only hope is a life of abstinence. Some people can simply quit, on their own. The vast majority of alcoholics need the support and active participation in what is known as alcohol recovery. Recovery from alcoholism usually starts with detox and rehab. After that, most alcoholics must resign themselves to actively working a program of recovery. Alcoholics Anonymous, despite its imperfections, has and is helping millions of alcoholics stay sober and live normal healthy lives, with needing or wanting a drink.
