Alcoholism is a disease that develops against the background of frequent alcohol consumption and is accompanied by the formation of a pathological craving for it, psychological, and then physical dependence.

Permanent alcoholism is a constant use that threatens to develop into uncontrolled use and, as a result, a chronic phase, incurable and progressive.

Not attaching importance to the frequent use of alcohol is dangerous for health and life in general.

Pay attention to the following signs, which may indicate that you are progressing to persistent alcoholism:

• The dose, which used to be enough to achieve the desired effect becomes small.
• A hangover appears.
• Increasingly, drinking alcohol is becoming the most desirable and overrides ways to cope with stress, troubles and life tasks without a chemical.
• There are health problems. Sleep disturbances, increased excitability, depressive thoughts and inhibition of reactions, nausea, weight loss or gain.
• There are problems in the family and at work.
• You have to twist, lie, come up with excuses to hide the fact of use.

It is safe to say that from the moment when binge drinking begins, alcoholism has passed into a chronic stage, while alcohol has ceased to be your friend and comforter, and has turned into a formidable enemy and ruler.

Alcohol is used as a means of escaping trouble, relieving tension, improving mood, a way to take some illusory respite in the hope of having a good rest and coping with issues.

Alcohol is consumed out of habit, genetic inclination, under the influence of the environment.

A combination of psychological and physical dependence. High tolerance to alcohol. A person can do without alcohol for a long time, but if he "gets on the tongue", he will not stop.

There can be an innumerable number of reasons to start drinking alcohol. The moment when harmless at first glance entertainment will develop into a deadly disease, no one can predict.

Rehabilitation of alcoholism is possible only in conditions of complex work with a narcologist and a psychologist. It is important to understand that even under professional control, the risk of relapse is quite large. Only a qualified doctor is able to recognize the approaching breakdown and prevent it.

Alcoholism is a disease, not a habit. It is impossible to get rid of it on your own. Psychotherapy is selected strictly individually. If the necessary rules and methods of rehabilitation are observed, it is safe to talk about persistent and prolonged remission.
