’re a few years out of school, your new job is stressful [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it’s what you used to do back in the college days. Or, you’ve been married for 25 years and are going through a really rough patch, both with your spouse, and your finances. A couple of drinks a night help ease the stress, but you wake up with a terrible headache and almost wish you could have a drink before work to take the edge off…and maybe you do. That’s a warning sign there. Here are some others:
1) Repeated neglect of responsibilities at work or home
2) Decreased performance at work, or in a student’s case - flunking classes at school
3) Reliance on alcohol to cope with life’s day-to-day tasks or in uncomfortable, stressful situations
4) Relationship problems due to your excessive drinking and neglect of responsibilities
5) Legal problems due to your drinking (arrests for public intoxication or drunk driving)
6) Regular black-outs when drinking and not recognizing when you’ve reached your limit
7) Increased drinking tolerance where you have to drink far more than you used to or have to resort to drugs in addition to alcohol in order to feel the same effects
Drinking in situations where it may be dangerous to you or hazardous, such as drinking while taking certain medications despite a doctor’s warning or drinking on the job
9) Concern from family and friends who think you may have a problem
10) Loss of interest in activities you once deemed fun and enjoyable
In addition to the behavioral warning signs of alcoholism [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you may begin to experience physical symptoms when you don’t drink. These physical symptoms reflect your body’s dependence on alcohol and signify withdrawal, making it more difficult to resist the urge to drink.
1) Anxiety
2) Depression
3) Increased Irritability
4) Shakiness or trembling
5) Fatigue
6) Headache
7) Loss of appetite
Fever
9) In some cases, hallucinations
10) In some cases, seizures
You may not exhibit all of these signs or symptoms, maybe even just one or two. The fact that you’re reading this signifies you already may have a problem, and recognizing it is half the battle. The next battle is getting help. With the support of friends and family [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], therapy, and in some cases, medical support, you can successful overcome alcoholism.
Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment involves having experienced counselors and medical professionals devise a customized treatment plan for you. Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers are virtually everywhere, so you can find one that best suits you and your needs. There are even alcohol rehab programs for working professionals. Even if you suspect you or someone you love has a problem, it’s better to be safe than sorry. It’s better to treat something that could potentially become a problem and to take preventative measures
