Alcohol dependence - don't go it alone

For some people, drinking can escalate from choosing to have a drink occasionally, to needing to drink each day. For many Australians, there is a fine line between being in charge of their drinking and having drinking control them.

For some people, alcohol increasingly becomes their life.

Relying on willpower alone to beat alcohol dependence doesn't work for most people.

The good news is that it can be treated.

If you want to stop the hold drinking has on your life or someone you care about, don't go it alone.
