White-Knuckle Sobriety
White-knuckle sobriety uses the sheer will-power method.
"The addict sits in a chair and grips the arm rests as
tightly as possible until the knuckles turn white, all the time resisting the
cravings."
It is short term effective for some folks but
requires extreme hyper-vigilance 24/7.
It doesn't remove the
craving which is the only way to permanent sobriety but not 100% guaranteed.
The white-knuckle alcoholic is worn down
from holding on so tight.
