Alcoholism the 5 stages we go through to become an alcoholic. The 5 stages of alcoholism vary from alcoholic to heavy drinker, to just moderate drinker. the 5 stages of being an alcoholic everyone goes through on there journey through alcoholism as an suffering alcoholic. So here we discusses the 5 stages of being an alcoholic.
Stage 1 Moderate: 0:15 The occasional drink and maybe (if pushed) a binge drink once per year. Moderate and casual drinking once every 2 weeks or so I classed as acceptable moderate drinking in the UK. Not to say this is not different all over the world with different stages of alcoholism to guide them.
Stage 2 Regular: 1:04 This stage of alcoholism is reserved for people who want that little bit more and would like to go out many times per week and have started to get a taste for it outside of the 2 weekly social drinking meetup. They stop experimenting faze as by now they are drinking regularly. Drink and look forward to Weddings, funerals social meet ups, and also may carry stress, marital problems, work problems etc. They may say they drink out of boredom.
Stage 3 The irritating and Problematic Drinker: 2:33 Any excuse to have a drink and meet up with friends even if they hardly know them. Stage one and stage 2 are different. As a Stage 1 drinker, the moderate, would be ok having a small amount of wine with a meal or a toast so to speak. But the Regular would want and feel like he needs more, Maybe a bottle or two..
Stage 4 Virtually Alcohol Dependant: 11:03 At this point you may be able to function and some people will still work at this stage of their alcoholism. I have known people struggle through work for years at this stage of alcohol addiction. Your immune system by now have built up strong tolerance to the alcohol consumption. You could and probably are experiencing vomiting of bile on a morning after a few days binge. Or maybe at work you are vomiting during the day when know one is looking. Guilt and anxiety will start to rear its head everyday to test you and make you want that drink.
The main tell signs to look out for are. Canβt sleep, ratty and easily irritated, hot and sweaty compared to most people, maybe an over beating fast heart beat also you my experience the shakes and tremors.
Stage 5 Total alcohol Addiction known as Alcoholism: 21:48 At this stage you will most probably need to drink in the morning or at least not long after you have woken. You will feel jittery and guilty until you get that drink. You will be waking up every morning in sweets and tears, trying to workout what is wrong. By now you may have lost your job or at best been signed of on the sick from alcoholism.
You will by this point drinking at home alone and sneaking around the place hiding alcohol in all kinds of bizarre places. You will also feel like there is nothing wrong with doing this as this is what everyone does, isn’t it!!!
You will need that drink every hour of the day while your awake and will need it every night at your bedside. You will need to drink it every morning first thing as this help the headaches, the depression and the ongoing anxiety. This stop it in seconds. But returns in a matter of hours, and that makes you drink again. AND THE CYCLE BEGINS.
