The UK and Europe are watching football. It’s an exciting time for those football fans and supporters.
They love the game and all those BBQ’s and family gatherings with friend’s are a must. No one wants to
be left out.

For those with a drink problem, it’s a bad time. Imagine the person struggling with alcohol – wanting to
mix with family and friends at that BBQ – friends or family being a little intoxicated and then the problem
– “Surely one drink won’t hurt you”!!

The fact is – if you are an alcoholic and are choosing to live in sobriety – that first drink will start the
addictive cycle of again. For an alcoholic “One is too many and a thousand never enough”. Once someone
with a drink problem has that first drink – there will be a second and a third and then it’s like the old
times. That person goes back to old drinking ways faster than you can imagine. This is so hard for
friends and family to understand – they probably don’t have a drink problem – they don’t understand that
one drink will equal chaos to the alcoholic.

This is not just true of people with alcohol problems – all addictions are the same.
Alcohol, Drugs, Gambling, Food, Sex, Pornography, Relationship and Co-dependency are all the same.
For people with an Addictive Personality, we all have the problem. No matter what the drug of choice
is.

My name is Peter. I am 22 years sober of a drink and 22 years clean of a drug. I specialise in helping
clients in 1-1 Therapy – Face-to-face or Zoom – explore their behaviours and look at how it affects them
or their loved ones. I am passionate about helping and our sessions will, be completely private and
confidential.

I work from the centre of Guildford and take pride in helping clients recover from their addictions.

Do you have an addiction to alcohol? If so and you have decided that you need assistance to recover and you are based locally to Hampshire, then help is most certainly at hand from myself here at Addiction Care.

A recovering alcoholic myself, I have been through the steps you need to take to recover, so I know better than most what needs to be done. I have been helping people recover from their addictions for a number of years and have some fantastic success stories, a few of which you can read HERE.

All of our meetings will be held in the strictest of confidence and everything you relay to me goes no further in our one to one therapy sessions. We will spend time going through your past to identify why you became addicted to alcohol. From there I will work with you to implement the steps and strategies you will need to ensure you don’t drink alcohol again.

Please feel free to email me (Peter) on info@addictioncare.co.uk or you can call me on 01483 533808 if you would like to find out more about how I can help.
