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.

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.

If you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol then you should look into the possibility of getting into recovery. Alcohol addiction has a lot of negatives associated with it, not the least of which is a lifespan that is generally reduced by about 20 percent on average, so anyone who is hooked on drinking should look into quitting just for this simple fact alone. The quality of your life stands to improve by leaps and bounds if you can find a way to sober up.

If you want to quit drinking then you have to change your entire life from the inside out. For most people, success in sobriety comes as a direct result of their actions in trying to actively create a new life for themselves. This means that if you want to stay sober then you have to do a lot more than just not drink. You have to get active in recovery and reach out and help other people and set some goals in your life and find some real purpose. If you do these things then it will give you the drive and the motivation to remain sober even when times get tough.

We all have our personal challenges and we will all have our ups and downs so you need to find coping mechanisms and healthy outlets so that you can avoid relapse over the long term. Alcoholism is a very patient disease and so you need an entire life strategy that can carry you through your entire life experience if you want to stay sober in the long run.
