Therapy

This can be a great option for many people since a good therapist can guide you in the right direction for your situation. A professional practitioner, psychologist or psychiatrist can help you figure out some of the things that have made you resort to booze as an escape or solution. This can be powerful, because you may be able to find out what exactly triggers you to have a drink, and assume control over it.

Of course, psychotherapy also has its drawbacks, the main one being that it can be expensive for some people. Also, there are many types of therapists, so it might take you a lot of time to find just the right one for you and your situation. You must be very careful about who you can rely on.
