Alcoholism is also known as alcohol dependence or alcohol use disorder.
You know you have an alcohol dependency problem when you consume alcohol on a regular basis and find it difficult to function without it. It becomes a part of your daily routine, and a rather important part of it, too.
Alcohol dependency can result in a lot of problems in your personal, social and professional life.
People with alcohol dependency tend to continue to drink even though it causes many complications. They are aware of this, but it is often not enough for them to discontinue drinking.
If your consumption of alcohol is causing problems in your daily life, but you are not entirely dependent on alcohol, you have an alcohol abuse problem.
Symptoms of Alcoholism
Some of the more prominent signs of alcoholism are:
Causes of Alcoholism
The exact cause of alcohol dependency cannot be ascertained. You become dependent on alcohol when you drink so much that chemical changes occur in your brain. These changes increase the pleasure derived when you consume alcohol, therefore making you want to drink more and more alcohol, even if it is not good for your health and you know it.
Alcoholism is a problem that develops gradually, over time. It is also known to run in families.
Treatment
Treatment for alcoholism includes detoxification, counseling, medication as well as support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
Alcoholism can cause problems with your work as well as personal life.
