Progression of Alcoholism

The progression of alcoholism, if you believe it is a disease, is inevitable.

Both Jellinek's phasesof alcoholism and the stages of alcoholism from "Under the Influence" show the alcoholic as getting worse and worse until they either stop drinking or die.

Jellinek's research of alcoholism outlines four phases of alcoholism and five species of alcoholism. Not all of the species

necessarily being based on the disease model of alcoholism. Some were believed to be more psychological in nature and others were simply physiological or disease based. The

stages of alcoholism are outlined in Under the Influence a book by Dr. James A. Milam and Katherine Ketcham. It definitely follows the disease model. As do the stagesof recovery. There are four stagesof recovery and it is important to know where you are at in these stages. It can be useful in relapse prevention.
