Are you worried about someone close to you because they drink too much?
How much IS drinking too much?
Some people can drink a lot and still function quite well at work, but it may be at home that the problems occur.
If your loved one is:
*no longer able to communicate openly with you,
*or is drunk every night,
*or is getting violent towards you or other family members,
*seems to be another, withdrawn person while drinking,
*is causing embarrassing incidents with your friends,
*or you are cancelling outings because of the drinking, then
PROBABLY YOU SHOULD SEEK HELP -
your loved one's drinking is affecting your and your family's life, in an adverse way.
It took me a year or two to face up to the fact that my loved one was indeed in trouble before I began to do something about it.
For a time we do not want to believe that our loved one is doing these things - I thought my loved one was suffering from depression - I kept hoping that things would get better.
They didn't - they got worse.
If you relate to any of the warning signs above, think about getting some help.
You can look through the help pages to find one way to get help, as I did.
Thank goodness I did - our lives are worth living now.
