According to a Gallup Poll from 2000, 16% of Americans have tried to stop drinking and more than 33% surveyed indicated that drinking had caused family problems in their lives. These results are up from 1999 when 15% surveyed said they had made a recent effort to stop drinking alcohol.

Alcohol consumption appears to have increased over the years and www.StopDrinkingAdvice.org is a new web site dedicated to providing people with informative resources to help them stop drinking.

American are drinking more alcohol and more often according to the statistics while the highest account of drinking was in 1970 when nearly 68% reported drinking regularly.

Ed Philips, of http://www.stopdrinkingadvice.org is concerned about how increased drinking is impacting people’s lives and lives of their families. According to Ed, a sure sign of a drinking problem is when it starts to have negative effects on people’s personal and professional lives.

Those with alcohol addiction know that it is not easy to stop drinking. The task can seem so overwhelming that many simply don’t know where to turn. According to Ed, “it is vital that anyone who has the desire to stop drinking develop a plan that incorporates the support of

friends and family as well as the assistance of a medical professional. A well-executed plan can be the difference between success or failure in a drinking cessation program.

While some alcoholics may be able to stop drinking on their own, many will need professional help including that of a physician who can help with the withdrawal symptoms as well as a counsel to help with the psychological impact of quitting.
