Signs of alcohol addiction

  • • Being unable to cut down or stop despite wanting to
  • • Spending a lot of time drinking, recovering, or obtaining alcohol
  • • Continuing to drink despite problems with relationships, work, or health
  • • Needing more alcohol to get the same effect (increased tolerance)
  • • Experiencing shaking, sweating, or anxiety when not drinking (withdrawal)
  • • Giving up activities you once enjoyed in favour of drinking
  • • Drinking to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms
