How long may such hopscotch last?

How long may such hopscotch last in a book is an open question. Moreover, going ahead I’d tell the relation of a human with the alcohol addiction is always really unique. So, the situation when alcohol is an equal or nearly equal part of a human’s life to every other parts thereof may last long enough. On the other hand, an accurate description of a person’s degradation, decline of social life shall be looked for in clinical psychology and psychiatry, not philosophy, literature or culture. However, as we leave the literature aside we also change our approach. An academic discourse means a problematic approach first of all. The science deals with a problem solution rather than the text esthetics, though the latter is important too. Therefore to get the scholars’ and practicians’ attention the alcohol addiction shall become a problem, something a patient wants to get rid of, but only with some help from the outside. Nevertheless, there’s one step from the picture of a happy life we discussed in our previous post to the position of a customer to a customer for a psychiatrist or psychologist. This step needs our attention. If a person thinks an element of his / her life relevantly insignificant and hindering more important things, the simplest and the cheapest way to do is to get rid of it on his / her own. It’s not just about the addiction, but about many other bad and even useless habits. Some act like in a situation when they have a leaking water tap and try to repair it themselves or instead of spending money and effort call to a plumber and spend some money on his / her services. But unlike taps and pipes to solve the problem of overeating or to learn to plan your day carefully with somebody else’s help you have to convince yourself first and then your doctor that your problem is a medical one, not just a bad habit.
