Before you can receive the help you deserve to improve your life, you need to pay attention to the warning signs of alcohol addiction. Here are six common signs you should look for in yourself and your loved ones:
Unfortunately, drinking can quickly spiral out of control because many people who drink excessively will continually need to drink more and more alcohol to get the same effect.
Typically, drinking more than one or two drinks a day is considered social or moderate drinking. If you’re drinking more than five drinks a day, you may already have a problem.
More than five drinks a day is indicative of binge drinking. People who are deep into alcoholism might consume 12 or more drinks a day.
A warning sign you might have a dependence or addiction to alcohol is experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you stop drinking.
Common alcohol withdrawal symptoms can include:
You might also develop mental health issues like anxiety and depression. In advance alcoholism, more serious symptoms can include hallucinations and convulsions.
If you find yourself promising other people that you have things under control, but continually fail to make good on your promise, you might be entering into alcohol addiction.
A majority of those who battle an alcohol addiction feel they have control over how much they drink, but they end up completely intoxicated because they can’t refuse a drink.
Blackouts and memory loss are warning signs of a serious alcohol addiction. Not only are these issues disruptive to other people in your life, but they compromise your personal safety.
If you’ve ever woken in a strange place or often have difficulty recalling what happened when you’re drinking, you’re putting yourself at risk for violence, robbery, personal injuries, and other events that can jeopardize your life.
If you’re choosing alcohol over what should be more important things and people in your life, it’s time to get help for alcohol addiction.
Many alcoholics eventually become incapable of managing any aspect of their life, especially family responsibilities, financial responsibilities, and even personal hygiene.
Those who drink excessively may ultimately start hiding their drinking from those close to them. As a result, alcoholics tend to isolate themselves and drink alone or connect with others who don’t criticize their drinking.
If you recognize any of the above signs in yourself or others, you can schedule an evaluation with our team at Klarity Clinic. We can determine if you’re a candidate for ketamine plus NAD+ infusion therapy.
