What Is the Best Way for an Alcoholic to Stop Drinking?

Question by mandygir: What is the best way for an alcoholic to stop drinking?
My boyfriend keeps repeating me he wants to stop drinking, but he’s an alcoholic. I’m trying to help him stop, but I’m not an expert. Sometimes I think he drinks behind my back and he doesn’t want to admit it. He’s real good at lying since I have caught him myself. I love him with all of my heart, but I don’t want to end up like others ladies after 15 years together all tired and exhausted for trying to help her husband to stop drinking. Our relationship is so beautiful when he doesn’t drink at all.

Why Does “Celebrity Rehab” Get Such Bad Reviews?

Question by harlemkid82485: Why does “Celebrity Rehab” get such bad reviews?
Not only the show but also Dr. Drew. Critics claim they expose people’s problems on national tv and it’s worse for them. I disagree. I think Dr. Drew and his staff is amazing and is doing the best they can to help ppl with substance abuse. These celebrities are getting paid to be on tv. If anything, this show should be a lesson for anyone who’s thinking of using(especially young ppl). As a former user, and child of junkie parents who were taking from this world by drugs, I commend Dr. Drew for what he does.
