Alcoholism

Alcohol ranks as the third leading cause of death in the United States. An alcoholic is anyone who suffers from the disease of alcoholism. Alcoholism is a physical condition whereby the body of an alcoholic has become physiologically dependent on alcohol. Although there can be many mental and emotional issues that can stem from alcoholism, psychological issues are not the underlying cause of the disease of alcoholism. Alcoholism is a physical condition and the active alcoholic is in the throws of a true physical addiction.

Coming to terms with the fact that you or someone you love may have an alcohol problem can be a painful and difficult process. While many people can identify when they are abusing alcohol (e.g. hangovers, issues at work, problems with a loved one as a result of their drinking), they may not necessarily recognize that they are alcoholics. If you or your loved ones are concerned about your drinking, it may be time to ask yourself some important questions as to whether you are exhibiting signs of alcoholism.

There are many triggers that will keep a drug or alcohol addict in the cycle of drug use. There are mental, physical and emotional triggers. Drug addicts have a hard time controlling their emotions, they are very reactive in their behavior patterns…they react and then wonder what is wrong for them for behaving that way. Because they do not understands the mechanics of their own actions they get on a circuit and just continue the same thing over and over again.

Drug Use

More often than not a person can use drugs for years and that drug or alcohol use can go undetected by loved ones. When a person is addicted there is a lot of shame attached to the drug use, addicts hide how much they really use.

Those who start down the path of addiction begin to accumulate so much damage to their physical and mental selves and their lives that the quality of their lives in general deteriorates. If drug or alcohol abuse continues unchecked, eventually the person is faced with so many unpleasant circumstances that each sober moment is filled with despair and misery. All this person now wants to do is escape these feeling by medicating them away. This is the downward spiral of addiciton. For most addicts, there are only three possible outcomes: sobriety, prison or death.

Drug rehabs that deal with the addict on a personal level have more opportunity for success. Drug rehabs that put more emphasis on the person and less on the drug of choice offer more success because in those rehab programs they help the person get more control over their emotions and the way they deal with problems in life.

The life cycle of addiction begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for the person. This person is, like most people in our society, basically good. But he encounters a problem that is causing him physical or emotional pain and discomfort and for which he does not have an immediate answer. No person ever intentionally sets out to become addicted, it is a consequence of not having the coping or life skills to deal with the problem at hand.

When a person is under the influence of drugs and alcohol their behavior is erratic, unpredictable and they are irrational in their thoughts.

Drug and alcohol use, abuse and addiction is rising at a staggering rate, basically one in four American’s has a dependancy to a substance. Drug and/or alcohol use turns to abuse which leads to dependency which leads to addition. Too often people do not see the signs of substance abuse, including the addict.

Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence on the abused substance and the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the addictive substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.

When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. Addicts can be restored to healthy, productive members of society.
