One of the main reasons that people relapse their alcohol addiction is due to the company they keep. Take the footballer Paul Gascgoine and you will see that he is continually relapsing during his drink and drug addiction due to the friends that he keeps – exactly the type of support you do not wish to have.
It is important to remember that when you are going through alcohol rehabilitation that you have to endure many, many temptations to drink alcohol. You will suffer withdrawl symptoms, you will suffer bouts of anger but most of all you will suffer short temper and anxiety towards your friends. If their answer is to have a drink, then your alcohol rehabilitation won’t last very long.
