For many people, drinking alcohol is connected to positive events. We drink to relax, to celebrate, to be social with family and friends, and for other reasons. But for some people, alcohol can become a concern. Unfortunately, alcohol problems are often stigmatized in our society, which can make it hard for people to learn about their options for help. However, you have landed in the right place.
If you are a heavy, regular drinker and your body has become dependent on alcohol, it might be unsafe for you to quit cold turkey, talk to your primary care provider or another health professional first.
