AA & CHURCH

Alcohol–induced psychiatric disorders may initially be indistinguishable from the independent psychiatric disorders they mimic.

However, what differentiates these two groups of disorders is that alcohol–induced disorders typically improve on their own within several weeks of abstinence without requiring therapies beyond supportive care.

Thus, the course and prognosis of alcohol–induced psychiatric disorders are different,

from those of the independent major psychiatric disorders.

Some of the most common psychological effects of alcoholism are insomnia, paranoia, hallucinations, depression, anxiety, compulsive behavior, personality changes, delusions, disordered thinking and Co-occurring mental and mood disorders are often common in alcoholics.

Step One.

What does 1st step mean in AA?

For some people Alcoholics Anonymous, or AA, begins a process of recovering from alcohol addiction. The first step in AA states: “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.” Alcoholics Anonymous Step 1 is the beginning of a 12-step program to get and stay sober.

Step One &

Tradition Three.

“The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.”

For some people they may see a Dr, Psychologist or Councilor. They may not know what there problem is!

This is where Tradition three is important. As some of us are not Step One when we enter the rooms.

Everyone is different…in my eyes don’t think you have to be Step One to join AA!

This is where & how important Tradition three is!

How do you break out of paranoia?

To start with, it’s important to eat a healthy balanced diet, exercise, and get plenty of sleep. All these things are part of a mental balance that can help keep paranoid thoughts at bay. After that, it can actually help to talk to yourself about paranoid thoughts.

Tell someone ( People ), you trust or love….❤️

If you drink alcohol, it’s a short term fix!

When you dry up (stop drinking), slowly your inner most hurtful time(s)/demon(s), issue(s) or sin(s) will return to you…!

You need to face yourself head on…

There are many options out there, you’ll always find at least one person that will want to, listen, to you & support you as must as they possibly, are able too..!
