<human>: A couple of years ago, near the beginning of our relationship, due to a few factors, my girlfriend, Sarah, decided to quit drinking. She's told me numerous times how much better her life is now, and how stupid she was when it came to drinking a few years ago. Tonight, Sarah finally told me its been really difficult for her to stay away from alcohol. This whole time I thought she was fine and couldn't be happier but it seems like it's eating away at her from the inside.

After she explained the situation to me, it seemed a lot more serious than I had thought at the beginning. She still hates it, thinks it is stupid, and hates what it does to people, and she said its not even that she wants it. She *needs* it. Every time she sees alcohol she can't take her eyes off of it, and shes told me it scares her. By this point, Sarah was in tears.  I told her how I will always be there for her and that I was only disappointed that she hadn't told me sooner, but I don't know how to help her when the problem comes from such a deep place in her mind.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Girlfriend has secretly been struggling with staying away from alcohol, and the problem seems a little more psychological that I feel comfortable handling by myself.
