  1. An alcohol treatment program can help those who are dependent on alcohol and who want to break away from the destruction it can cause in their daily lives. Many drinkers rarely feel that they have a problem, but perhaps they haven't managed to see their situation accurately. Here are some things you might look at to find out if you have a problem with alcohol.

  2. Do You Need An Alcohol Treatment Program? 1. Have You Thought About Your Drinking at All? If someone tends to think about how much he or she drinks, it could indicate a problem with alcohol. 2. Do You Consider Yourself a Social Drinker? A simple definition for a social drinker is one who drinks very moderately and mainly at social events. Many people think of themselves as social drinkers when they are actually dealing with addiction.

  3. 3. Do You Ever Drink More Than You Had Planned On? If so, how much and how frequently? Alcohol treatment programs suggest that if it's more than you thought, you might have an abuse problem. 4. Do You Avoid Things You Used to Do Because of Drinking? Avoiding the things you used to love doing because you would rather be drinking can be a red flag for alcohol abuse.

  4. 5. Is Quitting Alcohol Difficult or Impossible For You? This means you might have an alcohol dependency. An alcohol treatment program could help. 6. Do You Think About Alcohol Even When You're Not Drinking? You may be addicted to drinking and you should find the underlying causes for your need to use alcohol.

  5. 7. Do You Still Use Alcohol Even After Experiencing Negative Effects? Of course, negative affects could mean a lot of things. Hangovers are certainly one of the most obvious of these, but there are others. Alcohol-induced negative behavior can damage relationships, work, and other aspects of your life. Alcohol treatment programs can help you quit alcohol and get your life back on track. 8. Do You Feel Sick or Have Withdrawal Symptoms When You Try To Stop Drinking? Withdrawal symptoms indicates physical dependence on alcohol and although it is serious, it can be overcome.

  6. 9. Do Most of Your Friends Drink Frequently? This kind of drinking may have started out as social drinking but can turn into habitual drinking and actual alcohol abuse. 10.

You're the only one who knows what's going on inside yourself and you are the only one who can say for certain that alcohol has become a problem.
