Let’s take a look at some of these signs and symptoms, and the steps necessary to stop the abuse of alcohol.

Alcohol is a part of many people’s lives. Most restaurants serve alcoholic beverages and it is present at most sporting events and office parties. Many people can have a drink or two and stop there with no problem at all. For many people however, this is not the case. One drink can quickly lead to many more and some people simply do not have the ability to control their alcohol consumption. Studies have shown that people that come from an alcoholic family, have an increased risk of becoming problem drinkers. This leads us to believe that genetics plays some role in this addictive process. Stress is also a leading factor in one’s ability to control their consumption of alcohol. Many people turn to the bottle as a way to manage the stress that is present in their lives. Unfortunately, alcohol cannot make these problems disappear, they are still present and often drinking creates new problems. Many family members simply cannot take the up and down roller coaster ride of living with someone who is a problem drinker or an alcoholic. These families may have financial difficulties due to the alcoholic missing work or being fired from their job due to drinking. Abuse is prevalent in many homes where alcoholism exists, because the person drinking is unable to control their behavior while drinking. Many affable people have completely different personalities once they begin to drink. Just because someone has a problem with alcohol, it does not mean that they cannot recover and lead a full, normal life. It is important to recognize the symptoms of alcohol abuse, so that help for the addiction can be obtained before it is too late.

The following are a list of things that may indicate you or someone you care about has a problem with alcohol.

l. Withdrawing from friends and family.

2. A preoccupation with obtaining alcohol.

3. Numerous failed attempts to quit drinking.

4. Unexplained swings in moods or strange behavior.

5. Blaming others for problems or the ability to be unable to quit drinking.

6. Anger or depression.

Alcohol addiction can also have many different physical symptoms as well. The following things are a list of some of them.

1. Redness and puffiness of the face or eyes.

2. Abdominal pain.

3. Sick or shaking feeling, especially when not drinking.

4. Driving while intoxicated, this may result in legal troubles.

5. An increased tolerance to alcohol, and the need to drink more to feel the “buzz”.

6. Periods of not being able to remember things or conversations, “blackout” periods.

7. Flushing of the skin from an excessive intake of alcohol.

8. Missing school or work due to hangovers or periods of being intoxicated.

If you or someone you know, has any of these symptoms it is important to get help right away. There are many people who have conquered their alcohol addiction and have went on to lead happy, healthy lives.

Alcohol addiction is lethal in more ways than one. It is lethal to the individual. It destroys his sanity and his physique and renders him incapable of functioning. He becomes a burden and a menace to his family and society.

The physical and mental effects of alcoholism are all too well known. Physically he will become a wreck due to impaired bodily organs. His eyes, liver, heart, kidneys and brain are all affected and damaged. His mind and behavior are also adversely affected. His behavior is erratic. He throws tantrums or regresses into depression. His flashes of temper and outbursts harm his family and children. A breakup is inevitable and happens sooner or later. On the financial side too he is destroying himself. On the one hand he will have lost his job due to alcoholism and on the other he will be spending too much on drinks and less on other necessities of life for himself and his family. He might even get into a debt trap. A stage might arrive when he will sell of his home and his assets to meet his obligations or addiction needs. This will isolate and depress him still further into drinking more and more till he destroys himself absolutely.

The only way out is rehab at an alcohol addiction treatment center. Detox will finish his urge for alcoholism. A combination of family supports, counseling and motivational experiences will then push him towards recovery and becoming a positive individual. When he learns that the world does not revolve around him and he learns to be less self-centered and more outward looking and caring, he will realize that alcoholism is not the cure but an intensification of his problems so it is best left alone. Knowledge and action that follows from such knowledge leads to a sustained recovery. Life skills which he learns from counselors at addiction treatment centers give him this vital knowledge. Their encouragement and support of family and social groups help him practice this and make it a part of his daily life.
