Håndtering af narkomani og alkoholisme

The author is a self-help author who has been on the road to recovery from alcoholism.All you need to stop drinking is a strong will and some important information about addiction. This book contains the condensed knowledge of a "dry" alcoholic and it describes how addiction works and how to stop it. The secret to success is simple to understand and implement.The only thing you need to accept is the following: Alcohol addiction is a disease that cannot be cured! However, you must not use it as an alibi. Never believe in controlled drinking. If you feel the need to control something, you will be controlled by something. Also, do not switch to non-alcoholic beer, wine, etc., as this will not change your behavior pattern, but will continue to reinforce it. Sooner or later, this ends up back in alcoholic beverages. Think about it!

ACHTUNG: Bei dieser Ausgabe handelt es sich um eine Neuauflage des Buches "Alkohol - Freudenspender und Henker". Der Inhalt ist identisch. Alles was Sie benötigen, um mit dem Trinken aufzuhören, ist ein starker Wille und einige wichtige Informationen über die Sucht. Dieses Buch enthält das komprimierte Wissen eines "trockenen" Alkoholikers und es beschreibt, wie die Sucht funktioniert und wie man sie zum Stillstand bringt. Das Erfolgsgeheimnis ist einfach zu verstehen und umzusetzen.Das Einzige, was Sie akzeptieren müssen, sind die folgenden Aspekte:Alkoholabhängigkeit ist eine Krankheit, die nicht geheilt werden kann! Allerdings dürfen Sie das nicht als Alibi benutzen.Glauben Sie niemals an kontrolliertes Trinken. Wenn Sie das Bedürfnis haben, etwas kontrollieren zu müssen, werden Sie auch von etwas kontrolliert.Auch sollten Sie nicht auf alkoholfreies Bier, Wein, usw. umsteigen, da ihr Verhaltensmuster dadurch nicht verändert wird, sondern sich weiterhin verstärkt. Das endet über kurz oder lang wieder in alkoholischen Getränken.Denken Sie darüber nach!

"It was January 1, 2012, which happened to be a Sunday. It was Sunday morning, to be precise, around 10:30 a.m. I was driving my wife to my mother's house to pick up our daughter and proceed to church. I had the most horrendous headache, and I felt lower than dirt. It was a hangover-a word I would have never used or understood earlier in my life, but I had built up a problem over the years. I didn't want to admit it, though I knew the truth deep inside my heart. I had developed a drinking problem." I started this book right after finishing the first draft of a previous book. At the time, I was reading one of the many books my publisher had personally written where she posed the question, "What is God leading you to write?" At that very moment, I knew this was the book God was calling me to share. I tell parts of my personal alcohol story through various sections of this book, but, suffice it to say, I had a problem. I had the type of problem I believe exists rampantly in our society, but we rarely talk about it. To be clear, the police never arrested me for a DWI. I was not violent. I never physically hurt anyone. I was simply in a fog many of my days and made stupid choices in the fog. Life was wonderful and bright around me, but I chose to view it through the haze of alcohol. This book shares some of the realizations I've had since choosing to live alcohol-free on January 1, 2012. I hope you find comfort in my story and observations, as well as perhaps a little bit of useful truth for your own life journey. -Mark

Have you tried to solve feelings of overwhelm, stress and tiredness with wine o'clock? Have you wondered how many G and Ts are too many on a night out? Have you thought about whether AA would be right for you? These thoughts and many more are carefully and lovingly considered in this book.Drink Less; Live Better answers some of the questions we might have been too embarrassed to ask our friends, too ashamed to discuss with our doctor or too fearful to google.Coach, mentor, podcaster, author and public speaker Sarah gently tells us we don't have to hit a big 'rock bottom' to have a reason to change our drinking habits. This book is part memoir, part self-help guide and packed full of wisdom and insights in bite-size chapters.Sarah thought that if she stopped drinking, she'd be lonely, miserable and boring - she had no idea how she'd relax, have fun or maintain her friendships without the aid of a glass of wine. It turns out that reducing her drinking was one of the best things she's ever done and she's here to share her story with you."A definitive guide to mind, body and soul recovery"William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained"Get this book, it might just save your life"Andy Ramage, author of The 28 Day Alcohol Free Challenge and Let's Do This

Have you ever felt not enough, a failure or a bit broken? I have. In the first part of this book, I discuss my wanderings and wonderings in and of life. It's been a bit of a roller coaster with the highlights being (if you can call them that) drink, drugs, depression, despair, raves, an armed robbery, two near-death situations, a tsunami, spirituality, synchronicities and finally my journey to heal the brokenness inside me.What, you want more? You're a tough crowd, but I'm here to please.It took me forty-seven years to receive the message transmitted by the universe, which was that my pain and fear were my necessary teachers; teachers to bring my healing and the healing of others too.In the second and third parts of the book, I outline the practices that worked for me to get to the happy place I'm at now.It's not all about me, however. The main purpose of this book is to provide inspiration and guidance to anyone who's struggling with life. Change is possible, but only if you are willing to accept the challenge and keep on stepping forward when all you want to do is give up.Interested? Then look inside!

Seemingly cobbled together from old notebooks and stretched over many years, Everything I Say I Miss the Point is a poetic memoir that chronicles a descent into alcoholism. Blending confessional poetry with self-elegy, and voiced in projective verse, these poems are an attempt to balance the lyric with a sense of poetic trajectory, of reaching towards a buried self that has become hidden by other, malignant personas. These alternate personas, or exagerated aspects of the self, manifest themselves unbidden as the narrator swings between drunkenness and sobriety. Henri is the boss, the one the world usually sees and the one who thinks he's actually in control. Mr. Bourbon is rather self-explanatory and knows exactly who's running the show. These poems act, in a sense, as the evidence that a true self exists underneath and is hiding somewhere within the words scribbled on pages and stacked out of sight. Purposefully fragmented, often disjointed, and at times repetitive, these poems act as manifestations of how the alcoholic negotiates with his family and his own disintegrating sense of self.

Everything you know about alcohol is a lie. ​Dustin Dunbar had it all. A beautiful wife, two sweet baby girls, a degree in psychology, and properties around the world--the building blocks of a nascent real estate empire. All the while, he happily believed every lie alcohol told him: "Real men drink." "One drink won't kill you." "You're the life of the party." > He believed these lies and many others until it was too late. Because of his addiction, he risked everything he valued most and nearly lost everyone he cared for--until he started to figure out that most of what we experience with alcohol is completely fabricated, a big lie packaged with bright lights and big names to distract us from the truth. Dunbar calls this non-reality "the alcohol matrix," and it took him years to break out of it and finally start enjoying a life free of alcohol addiction. Just as Holly Whitaker offered women a radical path to sobriety in her New York Times bestselling Quit Like a Woman, Dunbar combines his own experiences with his extensive background in psychology to expose the lies we all too willingly accept about alcohol and interrogates the part culture plays in reinforcing these lies, particularly for men--and shows readers how they too can break free from alcohol addiction. An inspiring, hilarious, and much-needed approach to addiction and self-acceptance, You're Doing Great!: Debunks the myth that alcohol washes away the pain. Explains the toll alcohol takes on our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Illustrates the steps to deal with our problems head-on. Exposes the practices used by advertisers and marketers to entrap us to drink. Proves that AA isn't the only option for battling alcohol addiction. Teaches readers to activate skills of self-empowerment. > Filled with entertaining true-life tales, hard-earned wisdom, and easy-to-follow advice for recognizing the truth about alcohol, You're Doing Great! is a powerful invitation to discover the real you that thrives on the other side of addiction.

Born into a turbulent and dysfunctional family-and surrounded by adults who were regularly using marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, heroin and crystal meth-Nick Terry TNT bounced around the Pacific Northwest throughout the 1980s, going to 13 different schools before being expelled in 10th grade. By his teens, Nick had entered a life of addiction and crime and was desperate to escape before ending up dead or in prison. To avoid pending legal charges, Nick fled to Hawaii where he became a father-but his unchecked drug use continued to eat away at his life and family. After multiple attempts at sobriety through traditional treatment and 12-Step recovery, Nick found success through full surrender and commitment to the process-but after four years of sobriety, he hit a wall. A breakthrough came when he discovered breathwork, which he came to believe is the missing piece of the recovery puzzle. In Breath of Life: Finding Long-Term Recovery with Breathwork and Stepwork, Nick shares how he transformed from wayward addict to breathwork and recovery life coach, and offers his holistic, much-needed perspective on how others can do the same. In homage to the Big Book of AA, Breath of Life is divided into sections explaining: - Nick's harrowing, decades-long battle with addiction and what turned it around - 8 spiritual principles of lasting recovery blending holistic teachings and traditional stepwork - A beginner's approach to breathwork and morning routines (used by Nick himself) - Firsthand stories from recovering addicts who have benefitted from Nick's approach - A breathwork appendix with conscious breathing, cyclical sighing and Breath of Life exercises (and more) In the end, Breath of Life draws on 12-Step teachings, ancient spiritual wisdom, modern science and Nick's raw life experience to forge an effective and holistic new recovery path. The result is a genre-defying, holistic recovery handbook that synthesizes all existing paradigms, all while adding a much needed breath of fresh air.

Hans store drøm er et almindeligt liv. Med job, kone, børn og bil. Det er lidt derfor, han forelsker sig i den kønne pige med de indtrængende blå øjne. Hun kommer fra alt det. Hun er ikke særlig gammel og den stille type, men hun fascinerer ham. Han er selv 24 år og allerede en af politiets gamle kendinge. Han handler med hash og hårde stoffer og bruger selv af varerne.

his is more than a bunch of crazy stories, it's a responsibility. How strong is denial? How much can a person justify? There is no limit to the number of lies one person will believe, even perpetuate to advance their programme. When that agenda falls under the influence of something else, something dark and insidious, a thing that has been waiting patiently to feed on what is left of his withered spirit? While it waits, he is being prepared so this creature can absorb whatever remains of what he was. What remains fades and it will be like he never existed. You would think that Don had enough, that his brush with oblivion would have had at least some effect on his perspective. It would have been how most would have reacted. Most weren't so misplaced, without purpose; they were not always afraid and forever trying to escape. Life had become just about reacting to what had just happened, there never seemed to be any plan and there never had been. He couldn't see past his next opportunity to silence the voices in his head, all the white noise caused by the lack of any kind of connection, he was blinded by it. He would sometimes flash back to that little boy who would refuse to sit down in church, why he refused remained a mystery, just more white noise. No, there would be no lessons learned from his dance with demise. Lessons gone unlearned tend to linger, until they can be absorbed. He was doomed to keep repeating his awkward education, he was blinded by all the white noise in his head. There was no way he could control it, the creature inside him; his dark passenger, was there even any hope? How many chances would he get? Why so many?
