		<description><![CDATA[Being an alcoholic doesn&#039;t prohibit you from obtaining life insurance. Alcoholism is accepted as a disease and if controlled it really doesn&#039;t impact you. Certainly it poses some degree of risk and that would be considered in the underwriting process. There may well be a rating applied and thus a higher premium required than for a person who is not an alcoholic and has all other conditions the same, but insurance is obtainable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great question! The one thing that we really need to know about life is that our actions always seem to have consequences that we are never aware of...Alcoholism is one of those, as I&#039;m sure you have learned.  If you are working on your sobriety, awesome! My prayers and support are with you.  If you have been sober for a while, and have not had any major health issues as a result of the disease, you can purchase a good insurance policy. If there have been issues as a result of your drinking, there are still policies that you can get, however they will typically be more expensive ( called graded, modified, or guaranteed issue policies) and they will have a period of time where your payout is limited to what you paid in, plus some interest. I hope that helps, if not, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for asking!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are a recovering alcoholic who has abstained from alcohol for a number of years, you can get life insurance at a competitive rate with persons who are not alcoholics. If you have been through treatment one or more times and are drinking now, you will probably need to purchase a simplified or guaranteed issue policy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The insurance companies look at several factors in determining if they wish to issue the policy for life insurance coverage. You say you are an alcoholic. Are you being treated for kidney problems? What is your record as far as being arrested for public drunkeness or stopped and issued a DUI citation. Are you able to hold a regular job? The liklihood that you would be denied coverage with a &quot;standard&quot; company is high. There are &quot;guaranteed issue&quot; life insurance policies such as &quot;final expense&quot; policies that you may find available.]]></description>
