If you are wondering how your drinking crossed the line from social or rare use to alcoholism or problem drinking, it’s time to ask yourself a few questions:

• Have you been drinking excessively every day?
• Do you feel like consuming alcohol right in the morning to get you started?
• Are you thinking of cutting back on your alcohol consumption?
• Do you feel like drinking more after a hectic day?
• Do you need to drink to fall asleep?
• Do you feel guilty about your excessive drinking?
• Do you get annoyed when someone stops you to take another drink or criticizes your bad drinking habits?

If you’re nodding affirmatively to any or all of these questions, you are suffering from problem drinking or alcoholism.

It might not be entirely your fault. Addiction to alcohol can occur for numerous reasons such as troubled family life, broken relationships, hectic professional life or discontentment. Many of these reasons seem to be unmanageable and uncontrollable at times, and as humans, we have a tendency to fall back on something. While fall back of alcohol is not healthy for your body, mind and soul, it slowly grabs hold of your life.

Our alcohol rehab Connecticut doesn’t judge you on the basis of your addiction or some sort of mental disorder resulting from alcohol addiction. We are here to help you win back an addiction-free life for yourself.
