Ways to Spot Alcohol Abuse

Many people with a drinking problem will deny it, the same as most people with any drug problem will deny that they have a problem too. I am not attempting to tell people they should never drink at all, it is legal, after all, as well as socially acceptable to do so, when an individual is able to control the amount of liquor they drink. That is wherhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gife the fine line can become a gaping hole the size of the Grand Canyon.

Besides the fact that drugs and alcohol impair a person’s judgment to say if he’s had too much, rarely do people want to own up to any kind of weakness that a dependency on drugs or alcohol would imply. There are many signals that can help a person see if they have an addiction:

1) Losing friends (except for the ones you drink with and even them sometimes)
2) Tired, weak or sick more than you used to be
3) Trouble with your job
4) Trouble in relationships
5) Gets more and more difficult to start the day
6) Feeling guilty or ashamed about your drinking
7) Lie to others or hide your drinking habits
8) Have friends or family who are worried about your drinking
9) Need to drink in order to feel relaxed or feel better
10) “Black out” or forget what you did while you were drinking
11) Many times drink more than you intended to.

This is just a partial list. It could go on and on. The reasons why a person develops a dependency are also endless and not really the subject of this article. That is something that can be handled as part of their rehab. We are looking at why and how a person will deny a problem and what their friends or family can do to help them.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

If the alcoholic himself is reading this then you are already a leg up because you are at least beginning to look for help. If you are a family member or friend of a suspected alcoholic (or any drug abuser, for that matter) show him the list from earlier in this article. If they have a majority of those problems then it is a good bet that they have a problem. You have a very good chance of getting them to face up to that fact and do something about it.
