A Full and Thankful Heart

I try to hold fast to the truth that a full and thankful heart cannot entertain great conceits. When brimming with gratitude, one's heartbeat must surely result in outgoing love, the finest emotion that we can ever know.
- As Bill Sees It, p. 37.

There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.

Find the Right Alcohol Rehab Center.

Millions of individuals and families are affected by alcoholism every year, and many call on the help of an alcohol rehab center to help their loved ones combat their addiction. Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance in India and has the power to warp an individual’s and turn them into a person they never expected to become destroying home life, friendships, and work environments in the process. However, by finding the right alcohol rehab center, alcohol abusers are able to overcome their alcoholism and restore the lives they once enjoyed.

In India the alcohol rehab center is one of the most sought after forms of treatment. This high demand has created a large number of alcohol rehab centers with varying treatment options which can make finding the right alcohol rehab center difficult. To find an alcohol rehab center that will most benefit the abuser, the addict, as well as his family, needs to determine their own needs and educate themselves of their available options.
Inpatient alcohol rehab centers are usually for alcoholics who are suffering from long-term abuse. These individuals have attempted outpatient programs but due to lacking support or personal strength have been unable to maintain sobriety. Outpatient alcohol rehab centers are for alcoholics who need help with their recovery but may have obligations that prevent them from inpatient treatment such as work. In addition to inpatient and outpatient treatments, there are also additional support programs, such as faith-based treatments, that are designed to further help a recovering alcoholic.
Achieving sobriety isn’t an easy task, and admitting that it can’t be achieved alone is even harder. However, help is available and an alcohol abuser should never feel hopeless. An alcohol rehab center can help by providing the environment necessary for recovery. Through therapy, proper nutrition, and adequate rest, an alcohol abuser will be mentally, emotionally, and psychically prepared to combat their addiction and to maintain sobriety upon release.

 
When to Choose an Alcohol Rehab...?
Alcohol addiction is one of the most common forms of substance abuse in India and thousands seek help each year through alcohol rehab. However, many who seek the help of an alcohol rehab center are not the addicts. Because many alcoholics have trouble admitting to their addiction, friends and family often intervene to find their loved one the help they need.
When an alcoholic chooses alcohol rehab, they are admitting that they are unable to overcome their addiction alone. This realization can be very difficult for many alcoholics to achieve which can be very hard not only concerned family and friends, but for the addict as well.
Alcohol addiction has the power to turn abusers into someone they hoped never to become, and can destroy the life of the addict as well as those of their loved ones. Although thousands of alcoholics choose treatment, many never do as the need to avoid withdrawal and coping with life outside of alcohol may be greater than the desire to achieve sobriety. However, all hope should not be lost.
Thousands of alcoholics do choose rehab every year; however, they should only enter treatment after admitting to having a problem and making the decision to become sober. Being forced into an alcohol rehab facility or program may compromise an alcoholic’s recovery as they may not be fully committed to attaining sobriety. Often family and friends contact a professional to stage an intervention to help their loved one realize that their alcohol abuse is becoming destructive.
Once an alcoholic admits to having a problem, there are many rehab facilities and programs available to help them overcome alcoholism. The most important factors to determine when choosing an alcohol rehab center or program are the personal needs of the addict, and the addict’s family, to ensure success. Emotional, psychological, and behavioral needs, as well as the amount of time one is able to commit, should all be addressed before choosing a treatment center.
Due to the large number of alcohol rehab centers and programs, treatment approaches vary as well as level of commitment. Although each alcohol rehab center or program is designed to treat the addiction and to help the individual find life without alcohol, it is always important to seek out professional recommendations or referrals to ensure the alcoholic finds the best alcohol rehab center suited to their needs.
 

Friendship

Life will take on new meaning. To watch people recover, to see them help others, to watch loneliness vanish, to see a fellowship grow up about you, to have a host of friends -- this is an experience you must not miss. We know you will not want to miss it. Frequent contact with newcomers and with each other is the bright spot of our lives.

A friend is one who sees through you and still enjoys the view.
