How to Confront Someone with a Drinking Problem
April is Alcohol awareness month, and its main focus is to bring attention to the alcoholism issue that is still very real in America.
Alcoholism does not discriminate. It touches all walks of life and not only affects the alcoholic, but all those who are involved in the alcoholic’s life. Having said that, if you do know someone with a drinking issue, it is time to start considering trying to get them help and informing them you are worried about their situation.
This is not something that is easy to do and it definitely doesn't always go well. Just always remember this: If you are trying to help someone, you are trying to save their life. It's okay if it doesn't go well as long as your intentions are good!
Here are some tips if you plan on confronting someone you know.

Managing Anxiety in Recovery: How Meditation Helped Quiet My Mind
I remember lying in bed one night when I was about 13 years old. Out of nowhere, the room felt like it was spinning; it felt like time was passing much faster than I could keep up with. My brain was racing like a broken hamster wheel that I couldn’t figure out how to stop.
I had a feeling of impending doom as my body became tense and I went into a full blown panic attack. I thought I must be crazy; there was absolutely no reason for me to feel this way.
This was my first encounter with anxiety.

7 Great Reasons to Give Up Alcohol For Your New Year’s Resolution
‘Tis the season to make grand gestures and promises that might not be kept until the end of 2018.
Vowing to give up alcohol is a popular New Year’s resolution, and focusing on the benefits that come with it can help you make it stick.
If you’re considering becoming a teetotaler for 2018, or just decreasing the amount you drink, you’ll be in good company.
However, by the time Valentine’s Day rolls around, you might need a few reminders on why your resolution is so good for you.
Keep in mind that alcohol is actually the most dangerous drug in North America. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s not a drug (caffeine is arguably the most used drug).
Alcohol is related to harmful traffic accidents more than any other type of drug. While it’s easier than ever to depend on a designated driver thanks to car-sharing apps, it’s just one of many reasons you might want to give up drinking and get a fresh start.
