I believe, if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice. The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and generosity.
- Abraham Lincoln
Current statistics show that there are nearly 14 million alcoholics (that is 1 in every 13 adults) in the United States alone, and the numbers are comparable by population in the U.K., Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the rest of the world. That’s a lot of alcoholics! We are in good company too (see the list of famous alcoholics).
Unfortunately, there is not a lot of levity involved in the day to day life of the drinker. People who are victims of alcohol abuse need to be careful when they say to themselves “Oh – I’m not that bad”. All advanced alcoholics used to say that very thing at the beginning of their drinking careers too, until continued use took them from the light category, to intermediate, then advanced. It’s like anything else – you do it long enough and you become a pro.
Some alcoholics get well and some don’t. With some it takes years to recover, and with most it takes a long time through the standard methods.
