What Prolonged Drinking May Do To You
It can be very difficult to admit that you have a problem. You may say to yourself “sure I like a drink, but who doesn’t?” This is a true statement but can also be a bad way to look at it. Some people enjoy a drink with dinner, others just on the weekend, but when you start to become dependent on alcohol – or even have to drink large quantities to even get a buzz. That is when you may need to think about seeking some help.
A lot of people that first contact us are worried family members. For most alcoholics, they don’t even realise the effect their prolonged drinking is having on their social lives. Being dependant on alcohol not only brings along a myriad of health problems but can also break up families, friendships and destroy careers.
If the dependency on drug and alcohol starts to affect your career then this can be disastrous. It only takes one moment where your boss suspects you are under the influence and you could easily find yourself without any income, and without the income, how will you fund the addiction…
What Causes Addiction?
Sometimes just taking a look at some of the most common causes of addiction can help a person realise that it’s a problem that can be fixed.
Some people can be born with it
Well, not literally of course, but a genetic predisposition to addiction is a highly researched topic. What some people can handle in short doses regularly, can trigger addiction in others, people may become addicted and reliant on these substances very quickly without even realising it.
Some people need to take medicine regularly
Aside from the typical ‘high addiction’ drugs such as heroin, some people can become addicted to other opiates such as those found in prescription painkillers. Doctors are always very wary about handing out opiate-based painkillers for this reason and even more rarely give a repeat prescription. Painkillers such as Tramadol are used to treat more severe pain but are also opiate-based and can be very difficult to wean off from, even causing withdrawal symptoms.
As well as physical pain, some people take drugs for mental health reasons. Drugs such as Diazepam and other benzodiazepines such as Alprazolam may need the dose to be upped to gain the same effect. This is in fact what causes them to be addictive and result in health problems if stopped being taken suddenly.
Some people had a bad upbringing
A bad family history when growing up can attribute a lot to addiction in later life. If a person grew up around drug and alcohol abusers then studies have shown they are much more likely to develop the same tendencies later on in life. As these circumstances are beyond a lot of people’s control, it can be a horrible situation to deal with.
Some people start taking drugs for fun
Recreational drug users may also find themselves moving on to different kinds of drugs as part of the lifestyle they lead. Although this is not true in a lot of cases, some drugs act as ‘gateway drugs’ for certain people, which leads them down a path to more addictive drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
