INTRODUCTION
Alcoholism is a disease that affects millions of people along with heart problems, diabetes, cancer, and drug addiction. We hear and read about different diseases that kill people every day and how they leave broken-hearted families behind. The reality of an alcoholic's life won't hit us until we come in direct contact with a family member, friend, or a close acquaintance who's struggling to combat this disease. Then we develop the need to understand fully and to gain the knowledge of what alcohol is doing to the alcoholic and the people around them.
If alcoholics don't continue to seek professional counseling after being rehabilitated, join an AA group, or find a sponsor, most alcoholics go right back to the bottle, which is always there to comfort them with no condemnation. Society needs to stop looking at the millions of alcoholics as bums or low-class individuals who don't want to better themselves. They have a disease that can reach the point of no return.
Someone Stop This Merry-Go-Round is based on the true story of my life living with and losing a husband to alcoholism. Slowly, our happy lives as a secure family started to fall to pieces at different stages. It seems completely incomprehensible to me now that I couldn't see the signs of serious drinking from this uncontrollable disease.
