Alcohol Counseling

Binge drinking is incredibly common in the United States and probably linked to our laid back, laughing and sports loving culture. Despite a society that encourages so called recreational drinking, alcohol-related disorders and associated consequences are rampant and potentially fatal. Chronic alcohol abuse can lead to brain and liver functioning damage while recent research has suggested alcohol is a big a risk factor for cancer as tobacco, including breast cancer, bowel cancer and head, neck and throat cancer. Chronic alcohol abuse can also contribute to mental health problems and impair and destroy intimate and social relationships.

There are a lot of different reasons for binge drinking and alcohol addiction. Many people drink to numb intense underlying feelings that are intolerable and/or poorly understood such as depression, sadness, fear, guilt, anxiety, feeling inadequate, poor self-esteem and loneliness. Addictions are commonly seen in people who have had difficult, abusive or neglectful experiences with parents or significant others in childhood or adolescence and enter adulthood ill-equipped to deal with the daily demands of work, relating to a partner and raising children. Drinking is a band aid solution, and the alcohol really serves as a poison – it actually digs you into a deeper and deeper hole. It can deceive you into thinking its the answer to all your problems when its actually making them so much worse. Stop the problem before it gets worse.
