How Does Alcoholism Develop?
Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic disease characterized by a person’s inability to control their alcohol use despite the negative consequences it brings to their life. Many factors, including genetic predisposition and environmental and psychological factors, can all increase the risk of developing alcoholism.
As alcoholism progresses, individuals may experience physical and psychological dependence, leading to withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to stop drinking. Without proper treatment and support, alcoholism can have severe consequences on a person’s health, relationships, and overall well-being.
It is essential for individuals struggling to seek professional help to address the underlying issues contributing to their disorder and to develop healthier coping mechanisms.
What Are the Signs of Alcohol Addiction?
There are some key signs that may indicate someone is struggling with alcohol addiction, including:
- Ignoring the negative consequences of AUD: Ignoring the negative consequences of AUD is a sign of addiction. However, ignoring the negative consequences can have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health. Individuals who continue to consume alcohol despite experiencing adverse outcomes may be putting themselves at risk for developing more severe health issues in the future.
- Increased tolerance to alcohol: Increased tolerance can develop over time as a person consistently drinks alcohol, causing their body to adapt to the presence of alcohol and require more of it to achieve the desired effects. Factors that contribute to increased tolerance include genetics, frequency of alcohol consumption, and overall health. If there is an increased tolerance or need for more alcohol, then this is a sign that there is a dependence.
- Unable to control or manage cravings for alcohol: Another sign of AUD is the developing of unhealthy relationships with alcohol, leading to intense cravings that can feel overwhelming and difficult to resist. These cravings often stem from both physical and psychological factors, including addiction, stress, coping mechanisms, social pressure, or underlying mental health issues.
- Neglecting responsibilities such as work and home life: Neglecting responsibilities such as work and home life can often be a clear indicator of AUD. When an individual is struggling with AUD, their priorities and focus are often shifted toward alcohol consumption, leading them to overlook important obligations in their personal and professional life. This neglect can manifest in various ways, such as consistently missing work deadlines, failing to fulfill household duties, or neglecting relationships with family and friends.
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not drinking: Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not drinking alcohol is a common occurrence among individuals who have developed a dependence on the substance. The body becomes accustomed to regularly having alcohol and adjusts its functions accordingly. When alcohol consumption is suddenly stopped or reduced, the body goes through a period of readjustment, leading to a range of physical and psychological symptoms known as withdrawal. Common withdrawal symptoms include tremors, sweating, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and irritability.
