Questioning Your Drinking Habits
Basically if this question is on your mind it is more than likely that you do have a drinking problem. If other people in your life are telling you that you have a drink problem, well they're probably right. If you have experienced a negative reaction to your alcohol consumption habits and have then continued in the same matter, then listen - you do have a drinking problem.
If you recognize that you may have a problem but are unsure what to do or where to go, and possibly even anxious about whether or not you are able to quit, I can say with some authority that the majority of people who wish to stop drinking can do so with nothing more than willpower. You will not be the first person who has decided to quit and been able to do so with nothing more than willpower.
Unfortunately many don't have the willpower to quit cold turkey and find themselves reaching for a drink. When this occurs the problem becomes one of dependency and even abuse. It is when this behavior becomes normal that the point of alcoholism is reached.
If you and your family have been affected by your drinking habits there is help available. Your first stop should be your physician who can advise you regarding whether medication will be necessary as well as which care centers can assist you in quitting. Alcoholics Anonymous is another option for those who are looking for group and one on one support.
The largest library in the world, the internet, is another option for finding groups that can support you in your efforts to live a life free from the reliance on alcohol. Talking with others who are on the same path as you and who understand what you are going through is important for your success in this battle.
