Alcohol Addict Recovery
Alcohol Addiction is a physiological dependence on
alcohol, which is indicated by evidence of tolerance or symptoms of withdrawal.
Because withdrawal from alcohol can be unpleasant and intense, individuals with
alcohol addiction may continue to consume alcohol, despite adverse consequences,
to avoid or relieve withdrawal symptoms. Once a pattern of compulsive use develops,
individuals may devote substantial periods of time to obtaining and consuming
alcoholic beverages. Alcohol is often used in larger amounts than was intended.
These individuals often continue to use alcohol despite evidence of adverse
psychological or physical consequences, such as depression, blackouts, or liver
disease.
Alcohol addiction has a variable course that is frequently
characterized by periods of remission and relapse. A decision to stop drinking,
often in response to a crisis, is likely to be followed by weeks or more of
abstinence, which is often followed by limited periods of controlled or non-problematic
drinking. However, once alcohol intake resumes, it is highly likely that consumption
will rapidly escalate and that severe problems will once again develop. Alcohol
addiction often has a familial pattern, and at least some of the transmission
can be traced to genetic factors.
