With every addiction, we are looking for a substance to fill that
chronic emptiness and to feel at least temporarily whole. Do you
struggle with any of the following:
Is drinking impacting
your work?
Is it impacting
your family relationships?
Do you drink alone?
Do you drink in the
morning?
Are people
commenting on your drinking?
Have you had a DUI?
Does alcoholism run
in your family?
To avoid feeling pain, we shut out crucial portions of
awareness even though this closing off, this internal separation is
deadening.
Hope begins with the first realization, admitting you have a
problem is the first step.
