Hi
Thanks for seeking help here.
Alcohol is highly addictive. The de addiction process needed lot of attention from multiple departments. Means to maintain an abstinence is not that easy. The motivation is not the only thing you should concentrate apart from medicine. The environment and family situation and stressors and peer influence and mental health all r contributors.
A combined multimodal approach is the key for the success.
