Do you think that your drinking is becoming a problem?
It is definitely a problem for those that have to deal with a heavy drinker, but to the person doing all of the drinking, they are usually the last to admit the fact that it has gotten out of control. Some of them will get so bad that the only way they will get the help they need is if it is forced on them and this method often does not work.
