SOS . . . Safely Obtaining Sobriety

Some people believe you need to hit bottom before you can rise again. I am inclined to agree. Even a stay in a rehab clinic wasn't enough to keep me from slipping deeper into the depths of alcoholism. My bottom was having withdrawal seizures and being hospitalized on three separate occasions. I was lucky to have survived.

Before you hit bottom, get a safety net so you can survive. Use my experience to help you avoid death, or near-death. You do not want withdrawal seizures to take your life and leave your loved ones in despair.

My book tells you what you need to know. It has my story (which you can skip if you like), and it has my plan for getting sober when you are ready. This is just the surface. These pages provide information identifying symptoms and characteristics that are warning signs of pending disaster. By reading this book, you become prepared. You are creating your own safety net through knowledge. You learn how to deal with hitting bottom—on your own terms. Most importantly, you learn exactly what you need to do to survive. Make your move now—for your future.

Whitney Houston may have had a seizure while in the bathtub. This is my opinion and it is the opinion expressed by Dr. Drew Pinsky on CNN with Wolf Blitzer on April 4, 2012. A seizure episode is exactly what my book is about. Suddenly stopping alcohol consumption, or cutting way down, can lead to a brain chemical imbalance that results in seizures. Whitney was found face down in the tub, in one foot of hot water, which could indicate that such an event had occurred.

On the night Ms. Houston died, when it was made known that she was found in the bathtub, one of my first thoughts was the possibility of a seizure, a fear I had known years ago when I was struggling with alcohol addiction. I had tried several times to quit drinking on my own. On three separate occasions, I had a seizure because of withdrawal. Each time, I never knew what had happened and I woke up in the hospital. Each time, I was fortunate to have had someone present who was able to summon emergency assistance. Without immediate medical help, it is likely I would have died.

In circumstances such as Whitney Houston's, I can easily understand her wanting to cut back drastically on alcohol in anticipation of attending the Grammy awards. I recall feeling similarly, in the past, in anticipation of various upcoming important events. I would usually cut down my drinking moderately in order to manage a social situation, or a big meeting at work on the following day. I didn't want to risk breaking into a nervous sweat by not drinking enough on the night prior to an important event, however I had learned just how much I should drink in order to have some carryover to the next day and not feel too disconnected.

I suspect that Whitney, too, had probably begun cutting out alcohol in anticipation of appearing at the Grammys, perhaps not fully understanding the consequences. There are various possibilities with respect to her ingestion of other drugs as well. She may have too abruptly cut out alcohol and then, as a buffer, taken other drugs (prescribed and/or otherwise). Then as she was in the tub, her brain may have reacted in withdrawal, causing a seizure and her drowning.

Welcome to the modern approach for attaining sobriety. You can do this on your own terms.

This is the positive alternative to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and rehabilitation clinics. Here you will find information relating to alcohol dependency, alcohol addiction, and recovery. It's all in one simple book written by a recovered alcoholic whose uncomplicated plan works safely and quickly!

This is the AA Alternative. This is the way to attain sobriety without institutions. There is no shame or guilt, and no religious affiliations. Look around this site. Click on the images for ordering information. This book is inexpensive—far less than the thousands of dollars for institutionalized treatment. You can do this on your own terms.

Recovery Institutions Are Negative

The language I heard while I was in a rehabilitation clinic often made me feel like I was damaged goods. The messages I received perpetuated the idea that I was always going to be at risk of drinking alcohol for the rest of my life. The counselors made it sound as though I was very probably destined to have a relapse at any time, and then to do something drastic such as committing suicide. At AA meetings, the talk was just as depressing. In meetings, the group often chanted phrases such as, "God help me to accept that I am powerless over alcohol." Good grief! If you say something like that long enough, you begin to believe it!

They would refer to other individuals, who had stopped attending AA meetings, as having chosen to "white knuckle it." In other words, the message was that if I was not going to AA meetings—even if I was not drinking—somehow I must be enduring it with gnashed teeth and clenched hands. Surely, it must be a living hell outside of AA. I did not need to have those words and ideas floating around in my head. These are just a few examples of the negativity I experienced while in the group dynamic of so-called recovery institutions.

To be fair, I did pick up some basic knowledge on the long-term effects of alcohol, which helped me in my subsequent research. My point is that I paid a price for having had so many negative ideas about myself inserted into my head while participating in programs.

I want to have self-esteem and enjoy my life. I simply don't believe that alcoholism is a life sentence. In fact, I have learned that it is not. It is not the case at all. There are new ways to deal with the damaged brain that weren't available years ago. Things are different these days, but most people don't know about new methods to deal with alcohol addiction and dependency. I did my homework. That's how I came up with my plan.

I have gotten sober and have stayed sober, on my own terms, without AA and without going back to rehab.

Alcohol abuse and dependency can lead to a compounding of emotions. Little things become big things. Tempers run thin. These are some of the side effects of excessive drinking that many people simply don't recognize in themselves. With habitual daily drinking, the residual effects of alcohol continue to affect the brain. Our minds tend to exaggerate minor obstacles and turn every little thing into a drama. The pattern becomes chronic.

If this behavior sounds familiar, you probably need to take a break from alcohol. That, in itself, can actually be a major hurdle, as most ...

Stay Ahead of the Alcohol Curve

Statistics are boring, but you don't want to become one. There are people with addictions who don't even know it. A good reason to get sober is just to get a fresh look on life again.

We sometimes merely react to life, as opposed to living it, because we get in a rut. An alcohol rut is just like any other. You don't know you are in it sometimes until it is pointed out to you. With alcohol dependency, it may be pointed out to you in some unexpected disaster. Life isn't ...

You can enjoy sobriety without becoming mired in it. You do not need to endure self-deprecating meetings in order to maintain your status. In fact, you may actually enjoy sobriety a lot more by not taking part in groups (AA Meetings) where participants are constantly reminding each other that they are hanging-on by a thread. "One slip is all it takes!" Who needs that? Do you really think you can be happy while constantly being reminded that you are "damaged goods?"

Instead of all that grief, simply enjoy sobriety for its own sake. It does not have ...

Reasons to Get Sober

Get Back to Who You Were Before Things Got Out of Hand

Many people drink to escape. Sometimes it is just a temporary behavior brought on by an unfortunate event or setback. Yet, multiple life events can sometimes occur all at once too. They can add up. Drinking to escape becomes an ongoing behavior used to bury bad feelings caused by multiple setbacks. It gets worse because drinking tends to make us magnify our problems so that they seem to become bigger than they really are.

Drinking can make difficult situations feel unmanageable. If it ...

I dropped 27 pounds when I quit drinking. It took awhile. At first, I actually gained several pounds because I replaced my alcohol carbs with sweets (which is okay to do as a means of balancing chemistry and helping to stave-off cravings for a time). I found that by rewarding myself with a few extra treats (cake, ice cream, candy, etc.), I felt a better sense of control and it also helped to satisfy a need to splurge on something.

After a year or so of sobriety, when my confidence had begun to ...

I Support Charlie Sheen 100%

I support Charlie Sheen 100%. I have been where he has been. I also understand his position. You can get sober on your own terms. Like Sheen, I have also spent 22 years dealing with addiction. One gains a different perspective and a far better understanding than the so-called experts by having first-hand experience. That is why I wrote my book. That is why I have been able to successfully maintain sobriety for several years.

I enter this post mainly in support of Charlie Sheen. I wish him all the best. Read my other posts to learn more about ...

Reasons to Get Sober

Sometimes habitual drunkenness can get you into trouble even when the trouble is not directly your fault. In my book I tell the story of how I was driven off a cliff in my own car by a friend whom I had trusted to drive us both home (because I was drunk). Ha! Talk about a bad decision. He was drunk too!

If you are finding that when your friends are bailing you out in alcohol related situations and you are all getting into trouble as a result, then it may be time to put the brakes on your drinking.

Another Reason to Get Sober: Regaining Your Sense of Humor

Sobriety allows you to be kinder to yourself and less worried about maintaining appearances. Sometimes the struggle to find chemical balance overtakes rational thought and puts one in a defensive mode.

Long term alcohol dependency can give rise to a person feeling the need to create excuses, in advance, just in case, when preparing to deal with professional and social situations that are out of their daily drinking schedule. Think about that one for a minute. Here's an example of such a thought process:

I know there are going ...
