Making the decision to seek help with an alcohol problem is not an easy thing to do, but keep in mind that that once you have done so you are on your way towards a succesful recovery.

Many people have false notions of what it means to have a problem with alcohol. Alcoholics are often considered as being morally inferior or someone to be shamed. The truth is that alcohol is woven into the fabric of our society. This is as true in New York or another state in America. Over 15 million Americans are dependent on alcohol.

Why is it that it is only when a person admits that they have a drinking problem and make steps to better their lives that they sometimes considered themselves inferior, while drinking great quantities of alcohol is considired normal and acceptable behavior?

The truth is that just about everyone around you has a drinking problem in one form or another.Making the steps to do something about an alcohol problem, should never be considered as admiting to defect in yourself, it should be considered as a step towards regaing your personal power.

If you are drinking early in the morning, if you can't face the day without a drink, if you always need ‘confidence’ before attending a meeting whether social or professional, if you try to conceal how much you drink or are in denial about your drinking, if you can’t stop after 1 or 2 drinks, then you do have a problem and need help.
