Are Alcoholics Hopeless?

How Do We Recover From Alcoholism?

I would strongly suggest to anyone with this illness to attend AA and see if it works for them. The literature and the programme lay out a strong pathway to recovery.

Counselling can reveal underlying trauma and causes for drinking to oblivion but we also must remember that the person is an alcoholic and that needs managing too.

I will always initially keep an individual pointing towards their alcoholism first when they are new to treatment. In group therapy, an addict can wander off the topic so easily talking about everything else and all the reasons for drinking other than getting to the point of being an addict.

I find that digging deep into someone’s relapse and recovery cycle and looking at key early warning signs helps. If you see the in-depth process written down, the cycle becomes clear and you can pinpoint where you need to break the cycle.

An alcoholic can never drink like a normal person and the denial must be smashed. An addict certainly needs to admit this before the recovery process can begin.

There are many ways to sobriety not just AA. To recover you need to find a pathway that works for you.

Most alcoholics in recovery must work a daily programme to manage their alcoholism. If you are battling this terrible illness then always remember that you can never have that first drink. It will take courage and honesty along with lots of hard work to keep your sobriety.

Residential Alcohol Rehab Centre in Thailand

The Calm has been guiding and supporting people into sobriety for over two years now. We also endorse any pathway that someone may take. We are not associated with one way to recovery. We are not a 12-step sober house and at the same time, we are. We are whatever you want us to be, it's your choice on how you find sobriety.

The Calm residential alcohol rehab centre in Thailand is staffed and owned by Counsellors with years of experience. We will provide you with group therapy and other holistic treatments but we know that counselling and managing your alcoholism are the two points to stay focused on.

We are also a firm believer in connecting with the recovery community and the wider community rather than just learning about addiction in a classroom setting. You are not fully locked up at our facility. You get the opportunity to go and engage with the local recovery community and build your recovery outside of our alcohol rehab facility.

The main reason we are so popular is because people like the open feel to our facility whilst still receiving immense support from the team and the other guests, we are a sober community.

The price is so much more affordable at The Calm compared to a traditional rehab; this means that people are staying with us as a long-term alcohol rehab. They know that being in a sober community for an extended period and being held accountable is important in early recovery.

A long-term alcohol rehab can cost you a small mortgage but not at The Calm.
