Our comparison of alcoholism to gambling can be enriched with two other important moments. The wish we have attacking a one-arm bandit is definitely wealth. But it isn’t as simple with ethanol. We disclose new reasons of alcohol abuse step by step, but we haven’t run out of them yet. Narrating these motives can take a long while. Another important thing is, like we said repeatedly, a quick response is expected from the body reaction to alcohol. It’s like gambling too. Had a drink and got joy, confidence and relaxation. All these can be gained naturally, just remember healthy lifestyle promotions. Nevertheless, firstly, it isn’t simple, and, secondly, (what’s more important) not everybody can manage it, otherwise many branches of the modern psychiatry could go without their diagnoses. Ironically, this demand for quick responses can be found in search of methods to give up the addiction. Alcohol is a relatively cheap pleasure, drinking it doesn’t take much effort. Therefore, there comes a burning desire to get a pill against another pill. The illness with exaggerated thirst of instant solutions to difficult problems creates in an addict’s mind a false belief that getting rid of alcoholism is among quick responses. Can you remember our example with a pill and a walk? Then we can understand an addict’s point. “OK, damn you. I’m going to stop drinking, even tomorrow. I agree to take a medicine and leave me along.” It’s difficult to explain that this is impossible. Sometimes, its’ simpler to go on a leash of the addict and offer the above-mentioned aversion therapy. However, such methods just make drinking harder or less pleasant, but they don’t solve the problems that caused the drinking. In other words, the question remains, what I shall do with my unfulfilled desires. But with no answer to the question where the gambler can throw a jetton now or what to do instead of glass raising, the addiction process just come to a certain stagnation or will be like Chekhov’s gun on the wall that shall shoot sooner or later. There’s a remarkable word about it. It’s patience. Patience that can help put aside for a long while not only pleasures, but also such vital human needs as eating and drinking. But then, unlike other living beings, a human may constantly feel troubled with the question: what for?
