Alcoholism warning signs can let you know that your alcohol consumption is reaching dangerous levels and, in some cases, can warn you that it is time to get alcohol addiction treatment before the situation worsens. Taking note of alcoholism warning signs can assist family members in identifying a dangerous alcohol addiction and help their loved one get the help that he or she needs before it’s too late.

At Michael’s House, we can help you take heed of alcoholism warning signs and get alcohol addiction treatment in a timely manner.

Through alcohol detox, counseling and therapy, you can change your life and avoid the negative effects of alcoholism.

Drinking at Inappropriate Times

This will look different for everyone, but some common examples of inappropriate drinking include drinking alone or in secret, drinking in the morning or at work, drinking at events that are not social or when no one else is drinking.

In the same way, drinking too much even when the time is appropriate can be an alcoholism warning sign. Drinking a bottle of wine at dinner when everyone else drinks only a glass or ordering a pitcher of beer when everyone else is ordering a bottle can let you know that you have a problem.

Unable to Enjoy Oneself or Function Without Alcohol

Alcoholics don’t enjoy events that don’t include the opportunity to drink. If given the choice, many will stay home and if they can’t avoid the activity, they may try and drink on the sly.

In some cases, this alcoholism warning sign can be so serious that alcoholics cannot function without alcohol -they drink at work, church events, family gatherings, sober occasions. Without alcohol, the alcoholic begins to feel ill and is unable to make it through the day. Often, family members will not even know when an alcoholic begins drinking. So used to drinking in large amounts, alcoholics often function despite having ingested large amounts of alcohol. Friends and family members are often fooled as a result.

Alcohol-Related Health Problems

If you or someone you love is experiencing chronic health problems due to alcohol use, then that is an alcoholism warning sign not to be ignored. Liver problems, kidney issues, heart murmurs -all this and more can result when you drink every day. Without treatment, this can translate into liver failure, kidney failure, heart disease and other deadly health issues.

Though you may not be able to reverse these issues with alcohol rehab, you can stop them from getting worse and learn how to manage them without further problems.
