Addiction
Alcohol addiction is simply defined as a compulsive need for an intoxicating liquid. Alcoholism is present when a person craves alcohol and cannot limit or contain his drinking. When alcohol consumption has ceased, or if there is a need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to feel a high, that person is most likely alcoholic. Some may think that it’s just a matter of having the will to stop drinking, but alcoholism is more complicated than that. An alcoholic’s craving for alcohol is so great that it suppresses their ability to stop drinking. The majority of alcoholics need assistance to stop drinking. Alcoholism can lead people into serious trouble, and can be physically and mentally destructive.
A person may consume alcohol initially because of the feeling that they get when they do so. A person, who was once a social wallflower, may suddenly find that they are the life of the party. A person may also drink in order to “heal” something within or may have a drink to forget about their “bad day.” However, as one drink leads to another, they find that their body has become dependent on the substance in order to live. Any attempt to deprive their body of the alcohol it craves leads to horrible side effects such as depression, anxiety and even possibly, physical symptoms of withdrawal such as a person getting “the shakes.” These withdrawal symptoms make it that much more difficult to quit drinking. A person becomes an alcoholic as the body’s tolerance to alcohol increases. As the body becomes more efficient at eliminating high levels of alcohol in the blood, the person finds that they must consume more and more alcohol to achieve the same effect. This leads to more drinking and contributes to the addiction.
