Alcoholism

Very often, people think of alcoholics as drunks rolling on a street corner. However, if alcohol is ruling your life, moods and relationships, you probably have a problem with alcoholism. The problem can be insidious and creep into your life without you realizing it. Below are a few questions answering which may help you determine whether or not it may be time to get help.

• Do you call in sick from work because of a hangover or a late night party?
• Do you use alcohol to soothe yourself or numb difficult feelings?
• Do you have frequent arguments with your partner because of your drinking?
• Are your children hesitant to invite friends over because it may be the night you have had one too many?
• Do you promise to limit the amount you drink, only to break the promise soon after?
• Have you ever gotten arrested for Driving under the Influence?
• Have you ever had your license suspended because of your drinking?
• Do all or most of your friends like to drink excessively?
• Do you become intoxicated intentionally to feel good or drink to feel "normal"?
• Do you find that you need to drink more and more to experience the same buzz or effects?
• Do people tell you that your personality changes when you drink?
• Do you spend more money than you want to on alcohol?
  

Before treatment or recovery, most people deny that they have a drinking problem.

In fact, the first step to recovery is to acknowledge that there is a problem.
