I am worried about a friend whom I think is addicted to alcohol but he denies it. However, looking at the way he drinks, no matter how he denies it, action speaks louder than words. Mutual friends have been urging him to address his problems but I believe that even if the drinker seeks rehabilitation from a good alcohol rehabilitation center, the resolve for change needs tp start from within himself.
The recent death of South Africa's former president, Nelson Mandela, 13-year-old Zenani Mandela, who was allegedly killed by a drunk driver after watching the World Cup concert, stressed the point that not only does alcohol cause social problems to the drinker himself but may also be dangerous to others. In the case of Zenani, alcohol may have snuffed out a young life.
This friend, whom I shall not name, may be living in denial right now but I hope that when he "wakes up", it wouldn't be too late and he still has time to turn his life around and takes the step towards alcohol rehabilitation.
I have left him address to a good Tennessee Alcohol Treatment and hope that he will make use of it one day. I hope that the day will come sooner rather than later.
