Alcohol Addiction - Finding Help

Alcohol may be accepted in many cultures, however, it is widely recognised as a significant contributor with issues relating to emotional, physical and social factors. Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that can lead to physical and psychological dependency. Alcohol addiction is regularly mistaken to affect individuals who are weak and lack will power. The reality is alcohol addiction is a chronic disorder that can affect anyone regardless of any age, race, creed social status or religion.

The most common symptoms of alcoholism are:

• - Depression
• - Anxiety
• - Stress
• - Extreme mood swings
• - Difficulty stopping and continuing to stop
• - Feeling hungover when not drinking
• - Choosing to drink over other responsibilities and obligations
• - Engaging in risky behaviour, such as drink driving
• - Being in denial about the extent of the alcohol abuse problem
• - Becoming distressed at the prospect of not having access to alcohol
