Alcohol Abuse

When An Alcoholic Gets Sober-What Changes Take Place

December 27, 2016 by webadmin

http://alcoholicsfriend.com I’ve been sober for over 14 years. I know what the changes are that an alcoholic goes through once they get sober. When a substance abuser quits drinking there are three main things that happen.

Here they are:

1) If they happen to be involved in the AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) program, they will be encouraged to guard their sobriety at all costs. This means that they will be treating their recovery as the most important priority in their lives. Unfortunately that means everyone else comes second.

2) When an alcoholic quits drinking, they will be experiencing many negative thoughts and emotions that they used to numb through substance abuse. It’s going to take a lot of time for them to learn how to cope without drinking. If the problem drinker is in a program, then the process will go rather quickly. If they are not involved in AA or a similar program, they may never stop being filled with frustration, depression or anger.

3) When an alcoholic decides to quit drinking, they must stay away from things that could cause them to be tempted. They will not be hanging around with their old friends who they used to party with either. Even something as small as not going down the aisle in the store where the beer is can help them stay sober.

When a substance abuser gets sober there are going to many changes in their personality. Do your best to not takes things personally. Allow your loved one to go through whatever the process is that will eventually lead them into staying sober and having increasing amounts of serenity in their lives.
