Help With Addiction
Alcohol addiction can affect your health, relationships, work and emotional wellbeing, often making it difficult to recognise when drinking has become a problem. Therapy offers a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore your relationship with alcohol, understand the emotions and experiences behind harmful drinking patterns, and identify personal triggers. Recover Therapy can support you in making positive, sustainable changes and regaining greater control over your life.
What may begin as occasional or social drinking can gradually become a more significant part of everyday life. You may find yourself drinking more often or consuming more than you intended, thinking about when you can next have a drink, or using alcohol to cope with stress, anxiety or difficult emotions. You might also recognise that drinking is affecting your relationships, responsibilities or how you feel, yet still find it difficult to cut down or stop.
Problematic drinking can develop gradually, and it is not always easy to recognise when your relationship with alcohol has begun to change.
You may notice that you are drinking more often, consuming larger amounts or finding that occasions which previously wouldn’t have involved alcohol now do.
Drinking can become a way of managing stress, anxiety, loneliness or other difficult emotions, making it harder to deal with those feelings without alcohol.
You might find yourself concealing how much you drink from others, drinking alone or downplaying the amount or frequency of your alcohol use.
You may have decided to drink less or stop altogether but find it difficult to maintain those changes, even when you recognise the impact alcohol is having on your life.
