Let's talk about
Alcohol Dependency
Alcohol dependency is a complex condition that involves both physical and psychological reliance on alcohol. It often begins gradually, starting with social drinking, and can escalate into compulsive behaviour. This condition not only impacts daily functioning but can also deeply affect relationships, work, and overall well-being.
Key characteristics of alcohol dependency include:
Loss of control over alcohol consumption.
Increased tolerance, requiring more alcohol to achieve the same effect.
Withdrawal symptoms when not drinking.
Continued use despite negative consequences.
Difficulty imagining life without alcohol.
Understanding that alcohol dependency is a treatable condition, rather than a personal failing, is a critical step towards recovery. With the right support, alcohol dependency therapy can help individuals regain control and build a healthier future.
WHAT DOES ALCOHOL DEPENDENCY FEEL LIKE?
Living with alcohol dependency can feel like being trapped in a cycle of cravings and consequences. Many people describe battling powerful urges to drink and struggling to imagine life without alcohol.
The physical experience may include:
Cravings that feel impossible to resist.
Shaking, sweating, or nausea when not drinking.
Sleep difficulties and constant fatigue.
Emotionally, it can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation, especially as alcohol begins to affect relationships and responsibilities. You might find yourself organising your day around drinking or feeling anxious in situations where alcohol isn’t available.
This internal struggle can feel exhausting, but recognising these patterns is the first step towards reclaiming control.
