Alcoholism
Usually, alcoholics begin as mere 'social drinker' perhaps to identify with friends and peers, or out of sheer curiousity or as a menu for leisure and relaxation. But, it can easily becom habit-forming and soon it will be a drink too many with personality deterioration and resulting in accidents, broken relationships, hurt and failures. At some stage of the addiction, the person may inculcate denials and would attribute it to to pretenses of blaming family, their job or life in general.
Unless you admit that there is something wrong in your life, there is little that we or anyone can do to help. Real change must begin from your ownself and not from anybody else. If you really want to kick the habit then open your mind and your heart for God's power to change you.
The Bible is pretty vehement against alcoholism. Ephesians 5:8 says, “ Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery,” and Thessolonians 5:5,7 says, “ We do not belong to the night or to the darkness . . . those who get drunk, get drunk at night.” Hence, there can be no justification to alcoholism and Satan loves to decieve you that a little alcohol is good for your health but then little by little, we lose our self-control and it is alcohol that controls us.
