Who Has An Alcohol Problem ?
The one common thread that all people share, in any circumstance, is that they are all imperfect ! I cannot think of anyone that is not. Problems are everywhere and once one is solved, another will appear.
We are often defined by our problems. rarely do we hear someone describe themselves by the positive attributes that comprise who they are. We are a species geared to having problems and solving problems. One such category would be those suffering with alcohol problems.
People drink for many reasons such as cultural exposure, family history of alcohol use/abuse, self-medication, and/or because they want to stabilize or counteract difficult emotions. Oftentimes, people use alcohol so they can “feel” something…anything !
There is help for those seeking it. Contact your local mental health center or speak with your doctor. Remember…you are not perfect and therefore you have much company experiencing this same problem. You also have much company who have found solutions to the problem.
