Counseling for Addiction
Are you constantly thinking about the next drink?
Does your drug use cause problems on the job or at home?
Feel like you have no control over alcohol or drugs?
It's tough to go through each day with cravings for substances you suspect or know are causing you problems. But it's more difficult to resist. And therein lies the problem.
Or, maybe you feel that you need alcohol to loosen up, calm down, or be less inhibited. If so, ask yourself if drinking has become a crutch, and what it's costing you in productivity, clarity of mind and judgments, and friendships.
Could it be that you feel you need those drugs to control as much emotional as physical pain? Prescribed medicines and illegal drugs are often used to numb the painful feelings of guilt, shame, failure, grief, anxiety, depression, and so on.
All you really want is to feel good, or empowered to live your life, facing the normal challenges that arise everyday. Unfortunately, what once may have looked like a solution has become the bigger problem.
Therapy for addiction can help you heal the underlying emotional wounds that ae prompting your substance use. The therapy helps you make wise choices for better health, and you can learn how to face your feelings without a drug or alcohol crutch.
