Utöver det finns ett mörkertal samt personer som lever med riskbruk eller missbruk. Det har gjorts flera beräkningar på hur mycket alkoholen kostar samhället, men de sociala konsekvenserna av alkoholberoende går inte att mäta i siffror men är inte desto mindre verkliga.

Some people come to Alcoholics Anonymous feeling terrible about themselves and are told, bewilderingly, that their problem is too much ego and a lack of humility. Bill W., who wrote most of the AA literature, described himself as an egomaniac. He put his own needs and wants ahead of others, was grandiose, felt entitled, and thought he was all-powerful. He called this the alcoholic personality type and designed a program to crush the ego as the foundation of sobriety. It worked for him and millions of other alcoholics like him, and he deserves great credit.

Genuss statt Muss! Mit dem Alkohol ist es so eine Sache. Einerseits lernen wir: Wer nicht mittrinkt, ist ein Langweiler und Spielverderber; andererseits warnt man uns vor den gesundheitlichen Gefahren und ermahnt zur Mäßigkeit. Was denn nun?! Ein Glas Wein zum Essen, ein Bierchen am Feierabend oder ein Schluck Sekt in geselliger Runde ist völlig in Ordnung. Doch wenn aus der Halben Bier am Abend mindestens drei werden, wir allein die ganze Flasche Wein vernichten oder die Betriebsfeier mit einem Filmriss ausklingt, stellt sich die Frage, ob unser Alkoholkonsum zum Problem geworden ist.

Esta obra se centra en el proceso de recuperación de las personas adictas, desde el enfoque Gestalt, a través del modelo de automodulación.

Michael Craig Clemmens, desde su experiencia personal y profesional, identifica a la persona adicta como un cliente que necesita trabajar sus conflictos particulares, no los "problemas de los adictos".

For almost 10 years, Ashleigh Nowakowski stood on stage alongside her brother in front of countless students across the Midwest sharing their stories of the impact that substance abuse had on their lives from different perspectives: the user and the sibling. They talked about her brother’s recovery, providing hope for others that their loved ones could get sober. That was until her world came crashing down on her when her brother relapsed.

Grundsätzlich kann jeder von uns süchtig werden. Zur Sucht kann (fast) jede Form menschlichen Verhaltens werden; beispielsweise Spielsucht, Tablettensucht, Alkoholsucht, Drogensucht, die Sucht nach sexueller Befriedigung. Jede Sucht entsteht über einen "Lernprozess". Das Verhalten wird neurologisch betrachtet tief in unserem Unterbewusstsein verankert: Erfahrung – Wiederholung – Gewöhnung – Missbrauch – Abhängigkeit. Ein wichtiger Schlüssel zur Suchtauflösung ist deswegen unser Unterbewusstsein. Diese mächtige Instanz können wir positiv beeinflussen und steuern.

Scruffy handwriting, unkempt clothes, shabby attitude, Duncan was a mess. But he had one thing going for him—his best friend Hank. Hank showed him the comfort of chocolate and the liberation of alcohol, which won Duncan friends, frivolity, and even fortune. Yet his success was cosmetic. He fought a daily battle waged in junk food and red wine. He gate-crashed a diabolical cheese-and-wine party in his own mind and ended up living on the sofa. Something had to change, so he took out the rubbish, escaped an untimely death, and found joy, vitality, and fruitfulness. And so can you.
