Overcome your
Alcohol Addiction permanently

What is alcohol addiction or dependence?

Alcohol can be misused in many ways, from less to more severely. The World health Organization (WHO) states, “Alcohol misuse is a general term for any level of risk, ranging from hazardous drinking to alcohol dependence.” A useful short definition of alcohol addiction or dependence is: “continual drinking although drinking has clearly become harmful, even destructive, for the person and those close to them.”

How do I know if I have a drinking problem?

Only you can evaluate whether, and how severely, alcohol is adversely affecting your life. This level can vary over your lifetime. The World Health Organization currently recommends not more than 4 drinks on any day or 14 per week for men and no more than 3 drinks on any given day, or 7 per week for women. These are health-related guidelines – it is for you to decide for yourself if alcohol is unduly impacting other important areas of your life.

What are the symptoms of alcohol dependence?

Alcohol dependence and addiction include a change in tolerance level or withdrawal. A typical symptom of alcohol dependence would be when you find that drinking — or being sick from drinking — often interferes with taking care of your home or family. A full list of the symptoms of alcohol dependence can be found in our alcohol addiction FAQs page.

Will I suffer from withdrawal from alcohol if I stop drinking?

Not everyone experiences withdrawal from heavy drinking, including even severe AUDs. There is no definitive way to tell in advance. Once again, this is an individual question for you to assess through your own experience.  However, if you have been drinking regularly and heavily, the chances you may have some withdrawal symptoms are increased. The severity can vary hugely from headaches and nausea to, in extreme cases, seizures and death.
