How to know if you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol...and the Sinclair Method

There is a difference between alcoholism and alcohol use disorder.  From having a chronic need or nagging cravings and obsessive thoughts...to dysfunction such as binge drinking and/or poor choices.   It's good to stop and check yourself now and then to see if there might be some changes necessary in order to be as healthy as possible and that includes our relationship with alcohol (even when it comes to fun, acceptable, social drinking). Check out this episode of the Unhooked Podcast and ask yourself some of the questions that might be indicators that it's time to take a break, or make a change. Or pass it along to someone who might benefit from knowing the specific signs of struggle. This episode concludes with information about the Sinclair Method, an option of alcohol treatment for those with a severe struggle, or anyone who feels unable to stop cold turkey.  The Sinclair Method is gradual and gentle, with lots of support and solutions...and an amazing success rate for those hoping to achieve sobriety.   (The Sinclair Method can be used for alcohol treatment - as well as for help and relief from opiate dependency.)
