Signs of Alcohol Addiction

One of the problems with alcohol addiction is that it can be difficult to notice at first. This problem is worsened by the fact that so many outlets of society will actually applaud someone who overindulges or binge drinks despite the self-harm inherent to the act. For these reasons, many people who are struggling with alcohol addiction, alcohol use disorder (AUD), or alcoholism, as it was once commonly called, don’t know that something is wrong until they have already suffered severe physical, mental, and social harm from it.

A few common signs of alcohol addiction include:

• Frequently drinking alone
• Attempting to drink secretly
• Making excuses to drink
• Drinking in the morning or shortly after awakening
• Becoming irritable when alcohol hasn’t been consumed recently
• Getting arrested for driving under the influence (DUI)
• Losing a job or opportunities due to intoxication
• Feeling isolated from family and friends who encourage sobriety

What Happens If You Stop Drinking Alcohol?

Alcohol is a drug, and like so many other addictive substances, it has the potential to cause harmful withdrawal symptoms when someone stops taking it, especially if they try to stop all at once or “cold turkey.”

Potential withdrawal symptoms associated with alcohol addiction include:

• Seizures in severe cases
• Hallucinations in severe cases
• Tremors
• Irritability, confusion, and anxiety
• Rapid heartbeat
• Nausea and vomiting
• Insomnia and night terrors
• Excessive sweating

At Georgia Recovery Campus, our McDonough alcohol addiction treatment specialists are well aware of the potential withdrawal symptoms caused by alcohol addiction. That’s why we have a standalone medical detox unit that can take care of you and provide constant medical supervision while you start recovery from alcohol addiction. During detox, you can receive corrective medical care quickly if you begin to experience unsafe or uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, so your recovery can begin as comfortably and safely as possible.
