There are various warning signs that indicate drinking behaviour is getting out of control. If you find that you are using alcohol to cope with stress, you should cut back on alcohol consumption. Also, if you organise your life in such a way that you always have alcohol available everywhere, display obsessive behaviour or suffer the consequences of binge drinking too often, alarm bells should ring because you are well on the way to developing a drinking problem.<\/p>\n

Common signs of alcoholism include frequent absences from work due to hangovers, family conflicts after drinking, financial problems due to overspending on alcoholic drinks, accidents or injuries while drunk, memory lapses, aggression, guilt or denial when others criticise alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition to health problems, financial difficulties, loss of employment, conflicts in the family and crime, 5% of all people with alcohol problems become addicted to alcohol.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alcohol addiction<\/strong><\/p>\n Drinking behaviour that has developed into a physical and psychological addiction is known as alcohol dependence. If the alcohol level in the body does not remain at a certain level, unpleasant withdrawal symptoms occur. The person affected must drink alcohol to avoid the withdrawal symptoms. Typical withdrawal symptoms include trembling, restlessness, nervousness, confusion, sweating, delusions, hallucinations and feverish delusions.<\/p>\n People with alcohol problems are already at a stage where they can no longer stop drinking without help. After professional help and successful alcohol consumption, they usually have to remain abstinent for the rest of their lives in order to avoid a relapse.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A possible alcoholic often wakes up sweaty and shaky in the morning and needs an alcoholic drink to feel better. To achieve the same effect, he will need more and more alcohol. He can drink a lot of alcohol without getting drunk.<\/p>\n Most people with alcohol problems deny their condition. It often takes considerable tact and persuasion to get the person concerned to seek help with their alcohol problem.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n To treat alcohol addiction, the alcoholic must be brought through the withdrawal phase with the help of friends and\/or a doctor when alcohol consumption is stopped. As the alcoholic needs constant supervision to prevent them from secretly giving in to their addiction, treatment is usually carried out on an inpatient basis.<\/p>\n Once the withdrawal phase is over, a strategy must be developed to prevent a relapse. This phase includes psychological therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, aversion therapy and self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n How to help an alcoholic<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The only person who has control over the drinking behaviour is the alcoholic himself, but he needs encouragement and moral support as well as understanding from those around him. The subject of alcoholism should only be broached with the alcoholic when they are sober and able to focus on their life. Encourage the alcoholic to take responsibility for their behaviour. Under no circumstances can alcoholics tolerate pity.<\/p>\n Those who are close to the alcoholic should make sure that, despite the support, they do not allow themselves to be dragged down by cultivating their own interests and living their own lives.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Es gibt verschiedene Warnzeichen, die darauf hindeuten, dass das Trinkverhalten au\u00dfer Kontrolle ger\u00e4t.
