Alcohol Use Therapists in Denver, CO

You're definitely starting to wonder if you drink too much, and you’re not sure what to do about it. When you try on the word “addiction”, it doesn’t feel quite right, because you meet your responsibilities most of the time. But someone you love expressed concern or maybe even gave you an ultimatum if you don't cut back or quit. You dread the thought that they're right because you can't actually remember the last day you didn't have a drink, or several, and you don't know how you would cut back or quit even if you decided you wanted to.

Have you tried everything to make your life better and it doesn't seem to work, or it works for a short time and things go right back to the way they were? Have you used alcohol or drugs to medicate uncomfortable feelings to feel normal, but never really feel normal no matter how hard you try?
