I have had counselling for a year, full on therapy type stuff. It has helped me lay a number of ghosts to rest...but it hasn't helped me reduce my alcohol intake. In fact it has got quite a lot worse. I found raking over my past really stressful ( though useful too) so I can see why I have continued to drink. But if therapy doesn't help me, how do I sort out my drinking problem? I feel a bit like a failure, all the stats say counselling helps, but I am worse than I was What do I try next? willpower doesn't seem to do the trick.

I'm told that counselling increases the chances of giving up. But I am drinking more now than when I started.
