Addiction is the dependance on the substance an it usually leads to serious health and social consequences for the users and those around them.
DANGERS.
Drinking regularly or excessively(more than 2units a day 4 women and 3 4 men)damages every organ in the body,1 in 3 heavy drinkers suffers liver inflammation and 1 out of 5 of these develops cirrhosis.even moderate drinking slows a person's reaction,affects verbal memory and brings insomnia and headaches and alot way more stupid things that you and me know from causing criminal activities,unsafe sex etc etc.
SIGNS
Ya thats what shocked me that having a couple of drinks after work might just become a habit which leads to starting to think about through the day and when they say you start arranging your life around your new 'habit'.Suddenly deep down you start feeling concerned about how much you are drinkin or using.you drink and get to wake up the next day thinking l shouldnt have drank al that alcohol or l shouldnt have popped al those pill,you know you got a problem.
WHAT TO DO
the 1st step is acknowledging your problem and admiting to yoursele before anything else
talk to a trusted friend or family member.
Tell yourself you need to put breaks on th habit
Go for an assessment with a specialist in substance addiction
Am sure with this and all support you can get from family and friends you wil get back to being fabulous!
