Bars are popular gathering places at the end of the workday or on the weekends when people want to let loose and hang out. Parents often enjoy a glass of wine or beer in the evening after a busy day shuttling kids or chasing toddlers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fancy recipes for mixed drinks have taken their place alongside recipes for entrees and appetizers. Small batch breweries and wineries are exploding. Celebrities endorse favorite brands.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, alcohol is tightly interwoven in our everyday lives. And this is a fact that can be enjoyed and celebrated. But sometimes consuming alcohol grows beyond occasional enjoyment and into a controlling obsession.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Signs of Alcoholism<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve never had any major problems because of intoxication, you may assume your drinking isn\u2019t a problem. But this isn\u2019t true.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Don\u2019t Think You Have a Problem<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with many addictions, those who abuse alcohol often deny they have a problem. You may tell yourself that you\u2019re still doing fine at work or that you don\u2019t need alcohol to get by every day.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s often difficult to see when any addiction is taking over your life. But if you take an honest look at things, you can see hints.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Need More Than You Used To<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/At-a-Bar-with-friends.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/At-a-Bar-with-friends-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/At-a-Bar-with-friends-16x10.jpg 16w\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/At-a-Bar-with-friends.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2924 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"316\" class=\"wp-image-2924\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/At-a-Bar-with-friends.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/At-a-Bar-with-friends.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/At-a-Bar-with-friends-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/At-a-Bar-with-friends-16x10.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you find you need to drink more to reach your desired level of intoxication than you used to? Perhaps you used to only need one drink to relax, but now you need three.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drinking Is a Priority<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addicts often become captive to what they\u2019re addicted to. How often do you think about alcohol during the day? Is making a stop at the liquor store after work the first thing you do after work?<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe you turn down invitations to social gatherings where you wouldn\u2019t be able to drink as much as you want. Getting drunk can become more of a priority than anything else.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Drinking Interferes with Relationships<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you had friends, romantic partners, or colleagues express concern about your drinking? Have you argued with them about how often you\u2019re intoxicated or how much you spend on alcohol? Have they stopped inviting you to go out with them or come over because of one too many drunken scenes?<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Have Close Calls<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alcohol can affect every single thing in your life. Automobile accidents, of course, are probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the dangers of alcoholism.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there are many other types of close calls. Maybe you\u2019ve overslept too many times with a hangover and have missed important work meetings. Perhaps you\u2019ve had unprotected sex and are worried about a sexually transmitted infection or unplanned pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How You Can Address Them<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you recognize yourself in any of these signs, it\u2019s important to reach out for help. No matter how hard it seems, it is possible to achieve sobriety. Alcohol does not have to control your life. Researchers and therapists have developed more and more addiction treatment approaches in the last several decades.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support Groups<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Support-Groups-fro-alcoholism.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Support-Groups-fro-alcoholism-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Support-Groups-fro-alcoholism-16x10.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Support-Groups-fro-alcoholism.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2925 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"319\" class=\"wp-image-2925\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Support-Groups-fro-alcoholism.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Support-Groups-fro-alcoholism.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Support-Groups-fro-alcoholism-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Support-Groups-fro-alcoholism-16x10.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Support groups are a frequent and time-proven way to combat addiction. There\u2019s Alcoholics Anonymous and its many related groups. These operate on the well known 12 Steps.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also groups that operate on a different structure. You can look for local options or seek online groups.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Residential Treatment Programs<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those whose addictions have become all-consuming, residential treatment programs are often an important option.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Addiction Counseling<\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img data-srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rehab-Programs.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rehab-Programs-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rehab-Programs-16x12.jpg 16w\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   data-src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rehab-Programs.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-2926 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"  sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"341\" class=\"wp-image-2926\" src=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rehab-Programs.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rehab-Programs.jpg 500w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rehab-Programs-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/psychotherapyandcounselingservices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Rehab-Programs-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Individual therapy is also an effective way to address alcoholism. It\u2019s less expensive and time-consuming than residential treatment. In my practice, I\u2019m able to help clients find self-understanding as well as build the skills they need to address their problem drinking.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re ready to take back control, please call my office to learn more about addiction counseling.
