Top Signs Of Alcohol Addiction
Yes, life is stressful these days. And a growing trend is reflecting how the working executives are handling the stress of everyday life.
Several corporates are choosing to deal with the tension of workplace by heading to pubs on a more than regular basis. Friday nights have turned to drinking nights for office goers and grabbing a beer on weekdays is not a big deal. Sound familiar? It is important to recognize the signs of alcohol addition and pull the plug before it turns into a full blown addiction.
Top signs of alcohol addiction
1. You need a drink every time and the time of day does not matter. You have no power over how much alcohol you consume.
2. You wake up looking for a drink. It may seem unrealistic but alcoholics will have and prefer to have a drink in the morning.
3. You drink to get back to the feeling of high. This feeling makes you forget reality but eventually you need to realise you can’t run from your problems.
4. You experience withdrawal symptoms associated with addiction like sweating, shivering, loss of taste and you experience frustration.
5. Your dependence on alcohol cuts you out from daily activities and socializing.
6. It’s an addiction when people who love you can see your fall from glory. When your friends see the road to destruction or your friends isolate you, then you need to step back and ascertain the course your life has taken.
7. You will also experience weight loss and digestive problems.
Alcohol addiction has destroyed families and even lead to bankruptcy. But there is no harm in having alcohol occasionally if you know your limit and remember to drink responsibly.

Alcohol indeed is among the most dangerous drugs due to a number of factors: most of it is legal, cheap, available even in supermarkets, pa kantemba etc. Its also a socially accepted drug. Hence its consequences are very adverse.

A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.
That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers, and that’s why beer is so GOOD for you!

I can completely relate. When I was 13, I had my taste of marijuana. About two years later I tried Vicodin. I fell in love with it and become addicted by the time I was 18. I used opiates until the age of 32 with very very brief intervals of sobriety in between. Now I’m 8 years sober and I’ve helped other people get sober too. I really can help. I’ve been there myself. I know how hard it is. Feel free to call me or text me and I’d be happy to talk to you for a while and offer some support. Here’s my number (561)-706-6236. My (real) name is Saul.
