“Alcoholism can be treated in several ways, including hospitalization, therapy, and self-help groups” (Diamond 64). But the first thing people with alcoholism should do before undergoing treatment is to admit that they suffer from alcoholism. Usually, people with alcoholism deny having this problem (Torr 26). Friends and family who try to help them solve their problem end up arguing. Even when they admit to suffering from alcoholism, they will insist that they can cure themselves, even if they fail in the attempt (Diamond 63). Unless they are willing to seek treatment, nothing will happen and they will continue to drink alcohol, further harming themselves and the people around.
