Alcohol Use Disorder

“I had no idea what time I’d left, how I’d gotten home, who’d been up here, and how long he, she, or they had stayed. Another night, added to the hundreds that had gone before, shrouded in mystery. Really, when you thought about it, it was creepy. My own life was a secret to me.”
― 
Heather King, Parched: A Memoir

Success Starts With Understanding Your Limits

Ready to change your relationship with alcohol?
Maybe you're just starting out, or maybe sobriety feels unrewarding. Here's the key: focus on what you gain.

Set goals that matter to you. Want stronger relationships, better health, or more success? Sobriety paves the way. Gratitude is powerful. Appreciate what you have now, and use that as fuel to reach your goals. Contentment is key, but growth is possible.

You can be happy with your progress while striving to be even better.

It's all about you. What will you achieve by changing your relationship with alcohol?

If you don't really know the affects that alcohol has on your body it is important to educate yourself about that because when you have a craving you can remind yourself the negative impacts it has on your health and relationships. We put several videos on this page to show you the science behind why you should cut back or maybe stop all together. 

​Maybe you aren't sure if you have alcohol use disorder? Well....we have videos about that as well. Grab a pen and paper and watch some of these short videos so you can determine if you need to moderate or work towards being alcohol free. The entire rest of our site has resources to help you.  Hang in there. You are worth it!
