Alternative Treatments for Alcoholism?
Alternative Treatments for AlcoholismFounded in 1935 by a stockbroker from Ohio and a physician in New York, Alcoholics Anonymous changed the way people think about addiction. It is a loosely organized, non-profit fellowship that encourages people suffering from alcohol addiction to follow twelve suggestions, referred to as the Twelve Steps, which the founders referred to as a "spiritual design for living."The founders of Alcoholics Anonymous understood that people with addiction problems are, by nature, defiant. They tend not to respond well to authoritative commands. For this reason, the Twelve Steps are not rules, but suggestions. They are written in the past tense to emphasize that these methods worked for the original one hundred members of Alcoholics Anonymous and therefore might work for others who try them.In the book Alcoholics Anonymous, the founders stressed that the only requirement for membership is "a desire to stop drinking." The organization sympathizes with people who suffer from addiction to other drugs and destructive behaviors, but limits itself to people who suffer from alcohol addiction.Because the Twelve Steps were so effective for alcoholics, other Twelve Step programs have emerged to help people suffering from other addictions. Narcotics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Marijuana Anonymous, and hundreds of other organizations model themselves after the Alcoholics Anonymous approach to conquering addiction with a spiritual design for living.Membership in Twelve Step programs is free. However, for-profit treatment centers that charge for admission often incorporate the Twelve Steps within their own programs and encourage patients to attend Twelve Step meetings.

Why do non religious people suffer?
They are always worried about dieng and not going to heaven, trust me i am non-religious. It's not only non religious people who suffer. But, maybe, if you believe they do, it's because there is no God that look after them, because they do not believe in any God. Also, I think that maybe non religious people THINK they suffer, because they, unlike religious people, do not have a God to trust in. If they did, maybe they would not find their sufferings as difficult and would not claim that 'only non religious people suffer'.

AnswerThere are no specific statistics on how many alcoholics there are in the U.S.A., because some alcoholics go through life without seeing a doctor until it's too late (liver failure generally.) Only 8% of Americans are said to be dependent on alcohol but .06% are diagnosed. The problems is that other health conditions are usually visible and the physician will usually miss the fact the patient in question is an alcoholic. 8% of Americans are only properly diagnosed' 40% are depressed and drink excessively because of it; 65% are diabetics and 70% of patients suffer from hypertension.
