Can I handle my drinking on my own?
Enjoying a glass of wine again
We tend to deny our dependency. Not out of bad intent. We simply can’t see it clearly.
Addiction often brings shame. Small lies. Twisting the truth — to others, and to ourselves.
The people around us usually find it hard to bring it up. Often, a partner is the only one who dares to speak. And when they stand alone in that, it is easy to dismiss their concern as nagging. Addiction care in Amsterdam can help you break that pattern.
Do I need help with my addiction?
These signs may point to habits that are no longer serving you:
- You can’t make reliable agreements with yourself. You might stop for a while, but you can’t maintain real control over your use in the long run.
- It’s often on your mind. You always know exactly how much alcohol or food is in the house.
- You make plans to control your use. You try. When it doesn’t work, you quietly let those plans go.
- You’re only half present at work. You exercise less. You eat less well.
- Your relationships are affected. Arguments with your partner. Less real connection with your children. Less contact with friends who don’t use as much. When you’re not using, you may feel alone or empty.
- You try to hide your use from others.
If you recognise this, it may be time to reach out for help with your addiction in Amsterdam.
Taking back control of your drinking
Dependent on drugs or alcohol?
Using alcohol or other substances is common. Overdoing it now and then can seem part of life.
But where is the line between enjoyment and dependency?
Use always has two sides. There’s something it gives you. And something it takes away.
One moment you think you may have a problem. The next, you tell yourself not to be so hard on yourself.
In an intake, we can look at this with you. And together decide whether you actually need addiction treatment — or not.
Can I do this alone, or do I need addiction treatment?

Dependency often comes with shame. With small lies. With twisting the story — to others and to ourselves.
The people around you usually find it hard to bring it up. Often, a partner is the only one who speaks out. And when they stand alone in that, it’s easy to dismiss their concern as nagging.
Addiction care in Amsterdam can help you look at it honestly — and decide what you need.
