Combine therapy, support groups, and sometimes medication. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If you`re in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry, we`re here to help you.
The hardest part you have accomplished, admitting you have a problem and seeking help. Stopping alcohol abuse is possible, rarely can it be achieved by sheer willpower. Even though, Nancy Reagan, bless her heart, said- just say no stopping alcohol abuse is best achieved like other chronic medical maladies with the guidance of a physician trained, experienced and qualified in substance use disorders ( aka addictions). You can find a list of such physicians at: American Society of Addiction medicine: (asam.org) website. Richard G Soper MD,JD, MS, ABAM, DFASAM
