The five stages of the Kubler-Ross model are Denial, Anger, and Bargaining (Only applicable in life-threatening situations.) Depression, Acceptance.
Alcoholics who have been suffering for many years, unsurprisingly, pass through these four stages of the behavioral grief model, known as the Kubler-Ross model. (Similar to chronic patients.)
Initially, the Kübler-Ross model was only concerned with the stages of death and dying. Kübler Ross's model was expanded to include any personal loss. I do not doubt that being a long-term alcoholic has properties of grief and loss.
From my experience, what prevents making lifestyle changes is often Denial, Anger, and Depression.
Reaching acceptance as fast as possible is essential for elevating the spirit and gaining needed energy. It is necessary not to suppress the problem; alcohol withdrawal requires determination, perseverance, and strong willpower. Real hope would give anyone the strength to undertake all the pain and suffering involved in alcohol withdrawal.
