Are worried that you could lose your husband or wife because of alcohol addiction? If you are, then it’s important to know how to help them – the right way. In this article, we’ll tell you what to do if your partner is suffering from alcohol addiction.
How Will I Know If My Partner Is Addicted To Alcohol?
If you are unsure that your loved one is addicted to alcohol, here are 4 of the most common symptoms:
- Experiencing strong cravings to drink alcohol.
- The inability to control their alcohol consumption.
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when alcohol isn’t available.
- Becoming more tolerant to alcohol, meaning the person now needs to drink more to become intoxicated.
Other signs of alcohol addiction being present include:
- Drinking alcohol at irregular times of the day, e.g. during the morning or at work.
- Denying the fact that they have a drinking problem, despite seeing the damage it’s causing to themselves and the people around them.
- Becoming irritable or moody when they cannot drink alcohol.
- If you notice any of these signs and symptoms on your partner, then it’s clear that there is an alcohol problem at hand.
