Alcohol

Addiction to alcohol has plagued man for ages. A study conducted in 2002 by the University of Amsterdam and the Leiden University concluded that even one drink impairs a person's ability to function normally. You can imagine the destruction to an individual suffering from alcohol addiction!  Because it is legal it is the most commonly abused drug inthe United States.

When a person drinks alcohol, the alcohol is absorbed by the stomach, and enters the bloodstream, and goes to all the tissues. The effects of alcohol are dependent on a varity of factors, including a person's size, weight, age, and sex. Effects of alcohol include slurred speech, disturbed sleep, nausea, and vomiting. Alcohol, even at low doses, significantly impairs the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely. Hangovers are another possible effect after alcohol is consumed. A hangover consists of headache, nausea, thirst ,dizziness, and fatigue. Prolonged, heavy use of alcohol can lead to addiction.

Alcohol addiction may be a physical and/or an emotional dependence, but it is not some incurable brain disease.

Like other addictions, a person with alcoholism started drinking to solve some perceived problem or problems in his or her life. After continued use of the drug to combat perceived problems the person becomes dependent on alcohol. Eventually, alcohol addiction itself becomes an even greater problem than the original problem or problems alcohol was supposed to solve. The result is that now the alcoholic has two problems:

1. The original problem that started the drinking
2. The new problem, alcohol addiction.

Many people think that alcoholics lack self-control or self-discipline, and that simply getting them somehow to stop drinking will solve the addiction problem. The truth is, quitting drinking is only one of the problems. Actually he only started drinking to solve some other problem or problems. Correctly easing the alcoholic off alcohol is of course a necessary step, but that solves only one of the problems, and by itself can often be at best a temporary solution. Helping the alcoholic to discover or rediscover the original problem or problems, and to overcome these with real-life solutions is an essential component of almost all successful rehabilitations.

By equipping an addict with the tools and life skills to surpass common obstacles encountered by people on a daily basis is integral to beating addiction in the long term!
