Yes. Like any addict, they have to stay entirely away from the addictive item. Just being in the same room can be enough temptation to destroy recovery. Certainly taking a drink would be too much for most addicts. One drink and that feeling and tgen its 'one more wont hurt' then 'just one more isnt a big deal' then their will power to totally gone and so is all the hard work theyve done to recover. Thats why AA has mentors - a mento to call when theres that temptation to just take one little drink, just one cant hurt right? Only 99% of the time it does hurt. One little drink leads fast to recovery being blown out if the water.
More or less yes
cold turkey---the abrupt and complete cessation of taking a drug to which one is addicted.
Hopefully only once.
Let me know
I have no idea
I know to much for me is never enough.
Until I'm puking sleeping.
