There are three stages of alcoholism. As many people know, alcoholism can take years to develop. Alcoholism begins when drinking starts affecting the physical and mental health of the drinker - they have crossed that invisible line into alcoholism. In the early stages of alcoholism the drinker has started to drink for new reasons. They drink to change their mood or maybe to help daily stress or a problem. At this point friends and family don't know he or she has become an alcoholic. Chances are neither does the drinker. As alcoholism develops into the intermediate stage, the drinker no longer needs a reason to drink and may even create a reason to drink. By now the drinker is drinking over socially and legally acceptable limits. They may even experience loss of control and blackouts. They may experience legal problems such as a DUI. Friend and family cannot escape the fact that drinking has become a problem for everyone. Should they try to confront the drinker, they are often met with anger and denial. The drinker has the false impression that they can stop drinking any time they want to. Even if the drinker does want to stop, they find the addiction has advanced to the point that the desire and craving for a drink is now too strong. The advanced stages of alcoholism are many times devastation to the drinker and those around him or her. Friends and family have become despondent and disgusted with the destruction the drinker has brought upon themselves and others. There is irreversible damage to internal organs as the body and mind are destroyed by alcohol. Those who now try to get the drinker to stop drinking are wasting their time. The drinker is controlled by their alcoholism. Once in the advanced stage, it will take a event of enormous proportions to get the drinker to decide they genuinely want to stop drinking. At this point the drinker will find that if they do attempt to stop their addiction, they will experience extreme withdrawal symptoms. Addiction to alcohol is one of the hardest battles a person will face. While many alcoholics can beat their addictions, some cannot stop drinking no matter how hard they try. Alcohol is a powerful thing that is difficult to overcome, but remember that it can be done. Never stop reaching for a future that is free from alcohol and its problems.
