Hi, I am a twenty six years old man. It didn't occur to me that I have a problem. But it seams I do. You see I have been drinking for the last couple of years. It was fine at the beginning. Now something is happening to me. I can't stay focused at work. I am always sleepy, my hands are shaking and I start to sweat. I think that I have become an alcohol addict. Can you please help me? What should I do so that I would stop drinking?
Hi, you have alcohol problems. It is very important that you have realized that yourself. Alcohol can cause a lot of problems. Beside the ones you said, drinking can influence your health. Both physical and mental. Your brain will not be able to send your body proper information and your liver might be caught with cirrhoses. You must start treatment as soon as possible. First of all see a doctor. He will determine the damage caused by the alcohol. Also, there are societies made to help people that drink. In these organizations you will not be alone. They are visited by men and women that also have alcohol problems and run by professional therapists who will help you in abstinence. However, it is important to make the first step and decide that you want to stop drinking.
