April is Alcohol Awareness Month:

April is National Alcohol
Awareness Month. This promotion encourages local communities to focus on alcoholism and alcohol- related issues with the goal of helping reduce the stigma of alcoholism and its treatment.

Alcohol addiction crosses all socioeconomic boundaries and affects both men and women, and every ethnic group. Learn more about helping yourself, a family member, or friend by contacting the EAP.

Incidentally, denial is still the major obstacle to treatment for alcoholism—individuals often refuse to consider that alcohol use can be the root cause of their
problems.
