Besides that this substance is also commonly used for relaxation after a day\u2019s long labour yet again others use it to hide their feelings. When they feel bad and are stressed for whatever reason they resort to alcohol for solace. In all these one is likely to be persuaded that alcohol is delivering good result to their respective users but is that really the case? Are you a user of alcohol? And how well do you understand the drink you take? In fact knowing the signs and symptoms of alcoholism will be very helpful for you to know whether you are on the right truck or not. This is what doctor Dalal Akoury MD and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center wants to share with us in this article. We therefore request for your indulgence to stay on the link to get the necessary tools you need to make very important decision about alcohol intake.<\/p>\n<p>Now back to the discussion, studies have established that alcoholism is actually the most severe form of drinking problem. Doctor Akoury explains that alcoholism is wide and it involves all the symptoms of alcohol abuse alongside with other elements like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">physical dependence <\/a>on alcohol. It is therefore very important to note that if you rely on alcohol to function or feel physically compelled to drink then there is likelihood that you\u2019re an alcoholic and action needs to be taken in good time. You can begin by scheduling for an appointment with doctor Akoury for a one on one discussion about all your concerns. Now the following are some of the indicators of alcoholism.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">Knowing the signs and symptoms of alcoholism: Tolerance<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">Tolerance <\/a>is the first major warning sign of alcoholism in any users\u2019 life. Therefore if you are compelled into drinking a lot more than you used to in order to get cope or to feel relaxed or when you drink more than other people without getting drunk, then these are signs of tolerance, which can be early indicators or warning sign of alcoholism. Remember that tolerance comes in situations where, over a period of time, the user finds him or herself in need of more and more alcohol to feel the same effects they felt previously.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">Knowing the signs and symptoms of alcoholism: Withdrawal<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Withdrawal is the second major warning sign of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">alcoholism<\/a>. Therefore if you realized that you need a drink to fix your problem of the shakes in the morning, or you\u2019re drinking to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms, then these are also indicators of alcoholism and a huge red flag for that matter. Remember that when you drink heavily, your body gets used to the alcohol and experiences withdrawal symptoms if it\u2019s taken away. The following are some of the withdrawal symptoms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">Anxiety or jumpiness<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Shakiness or trembling<\/li>\n<li>Sweating<\/li>\n<li>Nausea and vomiting<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">Insomnia<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Irritability<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">Fatigue<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Loss of appetite<\/li>\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Doctor Akoury says that in severe cases, withdrawal from alcohol can also involve more complicated problems like<a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\"> hallucinations<\/a>, confusion,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\"> seizures<\/a>, fever, and agitation. It is very important to note that these symptoms can be dangerous and addressing them with your physician in good time is advisable. Therefore if this description suits your situation, then talk to your doctor to help you through the recovery process.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/www.integrativeaddiction2015.com\" target=\"_blank\">Knowing the signs and symptoms of alcoholism: Other signs and symptoms of alcoholism<\/a><\/h4>\n<p><em>You\u2019ve lost control over your drinking<\/em> &#8211; You often drink more alcohol than you wanted to, for longer than you intended, or despite telling yourself you wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><em>You want to quit drinking, but you can\u2019t<\/em> &#8211; You have a persistent desire to cut down or stop your alcohol use, but your efforts to quit have been unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p><em>You have given up other activities because of alcohol<\/em> &#8211; You\u2019re spending less time on activities that used to be important to you (hanging out with family and friends, going to the gym, pursuing your hobbies) because of your alcohol use.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alcohol takes up a great deal of your energy and focus<\/em> &#8211; You spend a lot of time drinking, thinking about it, or recovering from its effects.
