There are many different ways to approach the problem of alcoholism, but there is no single solution that will work for everyone. For some people, complete abstinence from alcohol is the only way to avoid relapse. Others may be able to drink in moderation with the help of support groups and/or counseling. Still, others may need medication to help them control their urge to drink. It is essential to find what works for you and stick with it. Don't be discouraged if you have tried to stop drinking on your own and been unsuccessful. Seek out the resources and support that you need to make lasting changes. With perseverance and determination, anyone can overcome alcoholism.
