Self Control Alcohol

Alcohol and You includes everything you need to self-diagnose alcohol problems and find the solution that is right for you. The author is a therapist working in public health, helping drinkers from all backgrounds. His research with hundreds of clients showed the best ways to overcome alcohol issues. In this landmark book, he passes on that knowledge to you.

Are you worried about your drinking? Perhaps you have recently tried to cut down and found that you can’t! You are not alone, thousands of people just like you lose control of alcohol every day. That one little drink to help them unwind at the end of a busy day or the quick beer with friends has turned from a ‘like to have’ to a ‘must have’. As with all drink related problems this doesn't happen overnight, you don't wake up one morning an alcoholic.

It's not that you don't want to stop. It's that the part of you that wants to stop can't reach the part of you that keeps pouring. You're not what people picture when they hear the word "alcoholic." You hold your job together, show up for the people you love, function. But there's a private loop running underneath all of it — the promise to cut back, the third drink you said you wouldn't have, the version of yourself you keep meaning to become.

Alcohol is the most socially acceptable drug on the market and the most accessible for almost anyone, regardless of age. Three-quarters of all adults drink. If you are listening to this book, it is highly likely that you want to cut back on your drinking. Why do you think you drink too much? Your health, your family, your finances. How much is too much? Even reducing your alcohol intake by half can lead to improvements in your health, finances, and livelihood.
