I want to speak to someone regarding alcohol addiction treatment. What can I do?
It’s easier for me to open up to strangers than to bother my family and friends about this. I have been craving for alcohol more and more now, and have started experiencing withdrawal symptoms as well. I want this to stop. I need to talk to someone about this, but not face to face. Any ideas?

It looks as if you’re ready to undergo treatment now. You can call 800-559-9503. It’s a helpline for people with problems such as yours. There’ll surely be someone on the other end of the line who would be willing to help you out. You can also join forums over the internet and get to discuss alcoholism with other people. Good luck! I do hope you get yourself schlepped over to a treatment center soon, though.
