Is there really a possibility for sobriety after an alcoholism treatment?

Question by winona m: Is there really a possibility for sobriety after an alcoholism treatment?
My father has just been to an alcoholism treatment. Since then, he’s been doing great, posing as a real great father to all of us. I am actually silently hoping that he’ll stay sober for as long as he lives, but I wonder if that is possible. I am not being pessimistic here; it’s just that I heard stories of relapse. Now, I’m afraid for my father. Can he actually be sober for a lifetime after receiving a treatment?

For most people, sobriety is a personal choice. If one is determined to say sober until he dies, he can aptly actualize it. But to substantiate that decision, it will be wise of him to continue working on his sober living right after receiving an alcoholism treatment. Group meetings and counseling are two of the most widely-known after-treatment dealings that a recovering alcoholic can do.

Anyway, I am glad that your father is all right now, and I wish that he’ll be sober for the rest of his life to make a wonderful parent to you and the rest of your siblings.
