Denial of an addiction to alcohol may be one of the most difficult obstacles for individuals with this condition to overcome, followed closely by a negative attitude toward treatment. Another roadblock to success is a lack of honesty between the person in treatment and the treatment providers. Sometimes, participants in a treatment program expect that rehabilitation will happen without their full efforts.

Ultimately, the greatest hope for successfully overcoming a problem with alcohol is to recognize the problem, seek treatment and invest completely in your own progression.
Maybe one or two of these quotes can help. The good news is that there are sources of help and treatment.
