Alcohol No More

Alcohol Dependency is a disease that can easily become life threatening. The characteristic that usually defines alcohol abuse, or alcoholism, is that the problem drinker has lost control of their use and may repeatedly drink more than intended. They do this despite the undeniable social and health problems that result.

An alcoholic’s drinking problem may cause them to miss work, school, or important events, in favour of drink-related activities. They may suffer extreme symptoms of withdrawal when they try to stop drinking. Symptoms can range from but not limited to

• Nausea, 
• Vomiting, 
• Irritability, 
• Tremors
• insomnia,
• Anxiety, 
• Hallucination

Alcoholism is a progressive condition with many causal issues to consider. The underlying factors that cause a person to lose control include genetic, physiological, psychological and social components.

The Dangers of Long-Term Alcohol Abuse

Abusive drinking over a prolonged period of time can damage almost every part of your body. The resulting health problems can include heart disease, organ damage, stomach problems, brain damage, cancer, reproductive problems, liver cirrhosis, memory loss and mental health issues.

Alcohol Dependency affects not just the person drinking, it affects family members and everyone close to the alcoholic. Partners and children of the problem drinker are more likely to suffer psychological scars, physical abuse, violence, neglect and increased risk of injury or death in alcohol related accidents and assaults.
