Understanding Alcohol Addiction

Alcoholism does not just mean drinking a lot. Many people drink, but not all are alcoholics. Alcoholism refers to an actual change within your brain, leading to physical and emotional dependence on alcohol. For the alcoholic, more and more alcohol must be consumed in order to achieve the desired effect; meanwhile, withdrawal from alcohol consumption can lead to intense side effects, including physical pain.

Chronic alcoholism is both progressive and potentially fatal. Over time, cravings and tolerance levels increase. Those who struggle with alcohol addiction may find themselves having less and less control over their drinking. The effects of the disease may not be initially evident, either to the individual or to friends and family members—but over time, alcohol addiction can cause rifts in families and friendships as the alcoholic’s behavior becomes increasingly reckless. Seeking treatment, as early as possible, is key.

 

What are the Causes of Alcoholism?

Many wonder about the specific cause of alcoholism. Unfortunately, this is difficult to narrow down to any one factor, as there are a number of potential contributors to alcoholism.

The short answer is that genetic, psychological and social factors can all affect how the consumption of alcohol affects your body and your behavior. Research has shown that drinking alcohol simply affects different people in different ways, and the reasons for this could be inherent to a person’s genes or may lie in the environment, or perhaps a mixture of both.

Additionally, alcohol addiction is often triggered either by trauma or by another, co-occurring mental health disorder. When the symptoms of these conditions rage, alcohol or drug use can be used as a kind of self-medication—but this only ever makes things worse, and can spiral into an ongoing struggle with addiction.

Signs and Symptoms of Alcoholism

The signs and symptoms of alcoholism can be difficult to identify. This is partly because all alcoholics are different, and the disease does not necessarily affect them all in the same way. Additionally, secrecy is a big part of alcohol addiction, with many keeping their struggle as covert as possible. With that said, there are some major warning signs to watch out for:

• The inability to quit or taper off drinking, even when you want to or you know that it is harming you.
• Having to drink higher and higher volumes of alcohol just to get the same effect.
• Experiencing withdrawal pains when you do not drink—like shakiness, sweatiness, nausea or anxiety.
• Forsaking other activities so that you can drink.
• Drinking even when it causes problems with your health, your relationships, etc.
