Negativity or Coping  mechanism
Rafi khawar 
(Pakistan)
Disease of Addiction is complicated to understand by people due to its deep-rooted ness.
Patient revolves around this mechanism to satisfy cravings,urges by any means.He beaks every thing,promises,
rules,laws,social obligations and innocent hearts of his family members.

He will not care about his responsibilities or social obligations..He has to survive only by taking breath..
In Addiction,Drug is like a...

most patients with alcohol dependence do not complete their therapy. they drop out after two to three months of clinical follow-up. now i have a patient who is in his second month of abstinence.
After how long can we consider the patient cured? how can we keep them in treatment longer? can you help me with the management of alcoholics?
