Alcohol wrecks more lives than any other disease we know.  It effects not only the sufferer but countless other people around them.  

Alcoholics’ bodies process alcohol differently.  Medical researchers have discovered that a chemical, tetrahydroisoquinolone, or THIQ, is present in the brains of alcoholics and persons who are dependent on depressant, sedative type drugs.  Before the discovery of the phenomenon of "THIQ" (tetrahydroisoquinolone), specialized groups who confess as being affected by alcohol historically have defined alcoholism as an obsession of the mind and an allergy of the body.  As far back as 1935, members of groups who had determined they were adversely affected by alcohol were aware that their bodies reacted differently when they drank alcohol, as compared to the social drinker.

“With alcoholism comes the loss of control.  Now it's chronic, progressive and incurable.  Now it's all too clearly a disease.  Without help the alcoholic will surely die or go insane.”

Although incurable there is a solution to the problem – clear-cut directions on how to recover from the disease.  You are not alone if you seek help from us.  We base our approach on these pertinent, but often not discussed, points:

• Alcoholism is a disease.
• Alcoholism is not the alcoholic's fault.
• Alcoholics can get proper treatment for the disease.
• The alcoholic can be relieved of guilt.
• The alcoholic can take on responsibility for arresting their disease.
• The alcoholic can seek help and stop the insane behavior.
• Alcoholics can and do recover.
