Question by mandygir: What is the best way for an alcoholic to stop drinking?
My boyfriend keeps repeating me he wants to stop drinking, but he’s an alcoholic. I’m trying to help him stop, but I’m not an expert. Sometimes I think he drinks behind my back and he doesn’t want to admit it. He’s real good at lying since I have caught him myself. I love him with all of my heart, but I don’t want to end up like others ladies after 15 years together all tired and exhausted for trying to help her husband to stop drinking. Our relationship is so beautiful when he doesn’t drink at all.

What should I do?

See if you can get him to go to an AA meeting, that may be his best chance.

Question by Lesley Decay: How can I find out who my spirit guide is?
Please, no “turn to Christ”, “you’re mental” or “stop drinking” comments.
I do not smoke, do drugs, smoke marijuana, or drink.
Thanks.

Question by No Chance Without a Kiss: Psychiatric ward prefers alcoholic patients to real mentally ill?
Isn’t it easier to treat the alcoholics, they’re pretty “normal” people just trying to stop drinking. Makes life easier for the doctors and nurses, and everybody knows, many people will take the easy option when given the choice, doesn’t matter to them, as long as they cash their pay check at the end of the week.
“There is a “psychiatric ward” and then there’s “rehabilitation centers”. They are two completely different buildings with two completely different doctors with two completely different purposes.”

Not in my local hospital, it has a psychiatric ward, and the beds are mostly taken up by alcoholics.

People drink to take away the pain of their emotions, so they self medicate themselves this way. But—- there is always an underlying problem on why they do it, and most of the time Dr.’s just want to treat the noticeable problem, which is drinking.
