Whether it be online, or in real life where could someone get help for alcoholism? Would a VA hospital be okay if you are a veteran?

AA. They have a hotline and can answer all your questions. As a vetran, you are also able to seek completely confidental help. Good luck. I'm fighting alcoholism myself along with drug addiction. It's rough and I'm scared to get help!

What do you mean by disclosed. I don't think a psychologist would venture such a statement and he is not much at disclosing anything. Usually the person who is experiencing the need to see a psychologist has reached or is getting close to it or are starting to drink again and know where they will end up and probably want their friends to lock them up so they cant drink but that just isnt the way it works. An adult who drinks and has become an alcoholic first must want to quit himself. Without that element there isnt much of a chance. And probably already knows where help can be obtained. And only will such help come along and meet him one on one.

The VA can be a great help to you. Many cities have private agencies with inpatient treatment programs that would give you a good start. AA is the answer -- but only if you have a desire to stop drinking. Look up AA in your white pages.
AA is not for people who need it, but for people who want it.
Celebrating 6 years of sobriety and life is great!
