Warning Signs and Symptoms of Alcoholism
Most alcoholics hide their problem from others for fear of social alienation.
You are probably suffering some level of alcoholism if you drink twelve to fifteen drinks
every week or five or more drinks at least once a week. A drink is equal to a five-ounce
glass of wine, twelve-ounce bottle of beer or one and half ounce shot of alcohol.
You can best help yourself by recognizing impending stages of alcoholism. Of course,
you need to be honest and your comparison should be with someone that definitely is
not an alcoholic.
To check if you may be an alcoholic, answer these three questions with utmost truth
about yourself;
- Do you think about alcohol? Placing you and a non-alcoholic on the same
standard, the non-alcoholic will not think about alcohol.
- Do you plan when to drink? Planning and scheduling your drinking indicates that
alcohol is more important in your life than the lives of regular, healthy people.
- Do you drink on the sly? Drinking without other’s knowledge and lying about your
habits are sure indicators of your alcoholic ways.
The three questions are in order of severity.
If you answer, “Yes” to any of the questions, you are progressing toward alcoholism.
You must take action to retrace your steps back to normalcy immediately.
Signs and Symptoms of Alcoholism
Alcoholics rarely accept their alcoholic habits and become increasingly assertive in their
denials. Alcoholic symptoms and signs differ from individual to individual, although there
are some which are typical with almost everyone.
Common signs are -
1. Blackouts and memory lapses.
2. Depression, irritability and anxiety.
3. Slackness and regular absence from work or classes.
4. Physical instability leading to shaky walking and frequent falling.
5. Insomnia and weight loss.
6. Loss of employment and subsequent financial problems.
7. Frequent accidents.
8. Broken relationships, divorces and separations.
Other symptoms include -
• Drinking alone.
• Drinking early in the morning.
• Unable to control your drinking or stopping but promising to do so.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Abdominal pain and lack of interest in food.
• Numbness and jittery nerves.
• Shaking of body in mornings
• Feeling confused about everything
• Turning hostile and even violent when questioned about drinking.
• Neglecting your physical appearance.
• Giving drinking more importance than anything else, including family.
• Your vocal pitch increases with greater intake of alcohol.
• Frequent aggressiveness and other changes in personality and behavior.
These include serious medical conditions and ailments like neuropathy, Korsakoff's
dementia, Wernicke's encephalopathy, brain degeneration, hallucinations, seizures,
cirrhosis, pancreatitis, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia and
peptic ulcers.
Psychiatric disorders and even suicidal tendencies are common.
And this shocking list is not complete!

Dear Reader,
As you read this letter, you will see that there is no "hype." There is much that could
be written about alcohol abuse that would rank amongst the top level "hard sell"
verbiage. Much of that could be written as humor.
However, alcoholism is not a laughing matter and our discussion here deserves serious
attention.
We see and hear the statistics on television all the time. More and more people are
"self medicating" with illegal drugs. Adults, teenagers, young and old alike - no one
is immune. With all the choices out there the number one drug of choice is still alcohol.
Alcoholism is spiraling out of control here in the US and abroad. Perhaps you can
recall images of the "town drunk" in the old western movies. He was usually portrayed
as a bumbling, likable and hearty sort of fellow who made you laugh.
Well, no one is laughing anymore.
The chances are very high that you have a friend or family member who is abusing
alcohol. Most people who abuse alcohol are in a constant state of denial. They don't
believe that alcohol is a problem for them, therefore they do not seek treatment.
Ignoring the problem only exacerbates the situation. Sometimes the only course of
action is intervention, usually by loved ones. That's why it is so important to be
informed and know what to look for in your own sphere of influence.
Okay, just what can I do about my loved one and alcohol abuse?
Learning about alcohol abuse has never been easier. "Take Control of Alcohol" is just
what you need to educate yourself about alcohol. It is written in language that is simple
and easy to understand.
Before you can help someone to recovery, you need to understand exactly what alcohol
abuse is, where it comes from and why the afflicted party has it. Learning this
information is the first step in being able to lead your loved one along that road to
recovery.
Did you know that:
40% of alcoholics in the US are women?
High alcohol content in the body reduces immune system ability to fight
off diseases?
Alcoholism is cancerous by itself and causes cancer of various body organs?
Women encounter higher health risks due to alcoholism than men?
Beer does not have a lower intoxication effect than wine or spirits?
Everyone is at risk for alcoholism. It touches men, women, teens and the elderly.
Without help it is very difficult to stop drinking. The biggest problem is denial.
Many people will look at a list of symptoms, shrug their shoulders and tell themselves,
"Well, that's not me. . .I don't have a drink until after 5:00 p.m.).
Sound familiar? If you suspect that a family member or friend is addicted to alcohol,
you need to educate yourself. The best way to do that is to get your own copy of
"Take Control of Alcohol" and start learning right now.
