It all depends on what you need “self help” for, so I can’t really suggest too many websites, because most of them are specific to the situation and circumstances.

However, here are some good self help tips:

1. Writing really helps you get your feelings out, and no one ever has to know what you wrote. Write about what’s bothering you, what you wish you could do about it, etc.
2. Research your problem. A library is a great place to go because you can borrow the books, and/or make photocopies or take notes. Don’t be ashamed of whatever it is you’re looking up – you can always just say you’re writing a research paper if anyone asks (but chances are they won’t!) Learning about how other people dealt with the same problem as you will give you some ideas.
3. Decide a few ways to overcome your problem – for example, if you are feeling depressed – what things make you feel happy? Try thinking of ways you can control the problem and change your attitude and behavior towards it.
4. Lastly, remember you don’t have to do everything on your own. If you don’t have anyone close to you to talk to, call an anonymous hotline (usually can find them in the front of the phone book) or if you have insurance, you can probably talk to a professional if need be for no or low cost, depending on your benefits. There are many problems that no amount of self-help could even scratch the surface on (such as suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, manic depression, schizophrenia, etc.) However, if you are just going through the usual ups and downs of life, writing and learning how others dealt with it usually will help you gain some insight on tackling it on your own.

Having a problem with alcohol is common, but those who are serious about quitting alcohol can do so with the help of an alcohol rehab center. An alcohol rehab center is one of the many alcohol rehab programs that can successfully work towards getting someone clean and sober. Because alcoholism is so diverse, there are many programs that deal with this type of addiction. Someone who suffers from alcohol addiction needs to get help the same way as anyone who suffers from any other addiction. Those who seek help at an alcohol rehab center have the best cure rate when it comes to getting rid of their alcohol addiction.

There are some alcohol rehab programs that encourage self help and being at home to quit drinking. However, because alcohol causes a physical dependency in the body, it can be uncomfortable for someone to quit drinking which may cause them to have a drink simply to avoid the discomfort. When they go to an alcohol rehab center, they can get the help that they need through the many alcohol rehab programs that are made available to them. The alcohol rehab programs offered at a good alcohol rehab center not only concentrate on the physical aspect of the addiction but also the emotional aspect as to why the person is drinking.

Once someone gets through the physical dependency on alcohol at an alcohol rehab center, they have to then combat the psychological dependency on the alcohol. There are tools that are given to people who attend alcohol rehab programs that can help them overcome the psychological component when it comes to alcohol. Many people who seek out help from alcohol rehab programs find that they have a whole new perspective on life when they are sober and look at life from new eyes. They feel more empowered about themselves because they have learned how to control this habit.

In many cases, drinking does become a habit. It is a learned habit, just like any other type of habit, and requires a person to un learn this type of negative behavior. This can be compounded by the environment in which the person lives. However, the person who is addicted to alcohol has to recognize the fact that they are an addict, cannot drink and then must learn to live their life without their addiction. The more a person goes through alcohol rehab programs, the more they learn about their addiction and how to combat it. Alcohol rehab center programs can be very instrumental in helping someone get rid of the habit of drinking alcohol once and for all, even if other methods that they have tried in the past have failed. The alcohol rehab center can help someone not only overcome the physical dependency that they have on alcohol, but also the psychological dependency that they have on alcohol as well. Those who are looking to seriously quit drinking can do so when they enroll in alcohol rehab programs that have a high success rate when it comes to curing people from their alcohol addiction.
