The process of recovery from alcohol addiction – from the limitations and fetters to a better quality of life

Summary/Abstract: In analyzing the broadness of Polish literature on alcoholic addiction one can conclude that the process of getting out of alcoholic addiction is fragmentarily studied and described. This article presents one of the views shared by many therapists of addiction (in Poland and abroad), which recognizes the problems of alcoholism as a disease and contains considerations around the issue of coping with them, with reference to exactly this model of understanding them. Although this perception assumes that alcoholism is incurable and is life-long, the recovery process can lead to an improvement of the quality of life, sometimes even higher than before getting involved in the addiction.
