"I knew from that moment that I had an alcoholic mind. I saw that will power and self-knowledge would not help in those strange mental blank spots. I had never been able to understand people who said that a problem had them hopelessly defeated. I knew then. It was a crushing blow."~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, More About Alcoholism, pg. 42~
When I finally came to realize the sorry truth that I WAS an alcoholic and addict, that I was whooped, I was so far gone that I had few friends and cared for very little. That day, without delay, I mustered up the courage some how to call the rehab facility my psychiatrist seemed to always have a room ready for me at, and told them I was coming. I call my brother who took me without question to the place. When I got there, the last call I made as a free man was to my wife telling here I had to check myself in for help. I had finally had enough of the loneliness, shame, anger, fear, and worry. I was 46 then, I will be 50 in 3 weeks. MAN life is so good now!

Every medication or healing procedure that does not, strictly speaking, fall under the category of conventional medicine is normally referred to as alternative medicine, or alternative therapy.
