To grasp the alcohol addiction
The project Alcohol Addiction Philosophy is a non-commercial initiative It’s my personal attempt to start a totally new research trend from scratch. I try to collect, analyze and adapt for every concerned one the latest achievements in the research of the alcohol addiction, and share my experience of overcoming it. The fundamental question WHY that makes a child become an adult, by the way, is the cornerstone of my search. The following questions are essential for me: Why did I tumble to the addiction? What was happening to me under it’s power? Why did I stop drinking? What is sober life after the addiction and how is it different from the existence of an ordinary human, after all? Thus, we shaped the outline of the Book. On the basis of the materials we collect, we plan to develop a general theory of alcoholism that is a concept that may unite and explain most of the different researches of the issue. We understand it as a belief system able to show a possibility to recover the freedom lost. And finally, we believe that philosophy must become a part of rehabilitation programs, for its experience can give a recovering addict a comprehensive understanding of his/her problem together with showing a certain way how to live with the alcoholic non self developed in his/her unconscious. We invite to cooperation everybody who understands the need to spread knowledge about alcohol addiction and the ways to overcome it, everybody who is interested in this project, who shares its mission and who wants to contribute some energy in the form of professional or financial assistance.

We plan to create a comprehensive on-line base of the sources we’ve collected that could allow everyone concerned work with them efficiently. Also, I’d like to have some financial support for new researches of this. The creation of a comprehensive philosophic vision of the alcohol addiction also requires new means to travel to specialized libraries, participate in conferences and purchase new books and articles. In future, we plan to set up a special page on the site called Philosophic Consulting where I will help those affected with alcohol. In addition, we intend to initiate the establishment of the international association called Alcohol Addiction Philosophy, which will have a possibility to publish a journal, share experience and coordinate research programs.

let’s first separate alcohol dependence from addiction
We continue what we wrote yesterday and speak about two ways to the reward system: a long one and a short one. However, let’s first separate alcohol dependence from addiction.
