Alcoholics 'must show willingness to recover'

Alcohol addiction is an illness that people must want to recover from before they will succeed, a recovering alcoholic has said.

William Moyers, a spokesman at the US centre Hazelden, made the comment in relation to claims that celebrities are more likely to deny they have an addiction than other people.

Experts believe that celebrities are often more seriously ill before they seek alcohol treatment, as they tend to get away with a lot more, Reuters reports.

Moyers, who has now been sober for 13 years, said that celebrities "have the trappings of success and a support structure that keeps them from plunging as quickly as the rest of us".

"Addiction is a chronic illness that does not discriminate and recovery is only going to happen when that person shows a willingness and a desire to get well," he added.

One celebrity who seems to have found a good enough reason to get better is country music singer Keith Urban, who successfully completed a residential alcohol treatment programme in California earlier this year.

When asked whether it was hard to cope without alcohol, he replied: "Actually it's not. The other way for me was much tougher because I was not really living.

"I was choosing the option not to feel and in the last few months I've felt that I'm alive, engaged in my own life, present and accountable."

Sharp rise in those receiving alcohol treatment in Wales

The number of people being treated for alcohol problems in the South Wales Valleys has risen by more than 40 per cent in the past year, according to new figures released by the NHS in Wales.

Last year, 15,415 people were treated for alcohol misuse in the region – up from 10,899 the year before, the Western Mail reports.

Commenting on the figures, Welsh Assembly member Mark Isherwoo said: "Much more needs to be done to help those suffering with drug and alcohol misuse problems.

"The lives of vulnerable people across the Valleys are being wrecked by drug and alcohol abuse.

"Drug and alcohol abusers need treatment, training, housing and an introduction to the workplace."

The Welsh Assembly government said alcohol and drug treatment was a priority and an extra £9.6 million has been allocated for such over the next three years.
