Alcoholism is hard to detect yourself. It's like a monster silently creeping into your habits. You think you're just enjoying a couple of drinks every day, when actually, you're already addicted to the substance. And while you're not aware of it, the addiction grows more and more until you cannot function anymore without alcohol. At this point, your only chance of recovery would be staying in a rehabilitation center. That's why you've got to detect alcoholism early, so that it'll be easier to cure.
There are many signs of alcoholism. If when there is no opportunity or special occasion to drink, and you still drink, that may be a sign of alcoholism. This is especially true when you drink alone for no particular reason but to drink.
If you're young and you're not allowed to drink yet you still drink, that may be a sign of alcoholism. For example, you always skip going to school and you go to some place to drink with anybody or alone. This means that rules don't matter to you anymore, just having your fix of alcohol.
Another sign of alcohol dependence is that you make up reasons why you believe you function better with alcohol. For instance, you can't go to work or do anything without drinking alcohol. You may even believe that alcohol functions like a vitamin supplement for you. You know most of your reasons really have no logical basis, but you still have them because you need them to justify your alcohol addiction.
Alcoholics will do anything to get their alcohol fix. If during work hours, you sneak up somewhere to secretly drink, you surely have an alcohol problem. This means you can't do your work or anything else without alcohol.
When your mother, or your employer, or concerned friends confront you about your drinking habits, and you feel furious and trespassed because of it - you may be an alcoholic.
Then you start losing your appetite for food. Somehow, foods you love don't taste as good as before. And those that you didn't find special before, there's no way in the world you're eating them now. You'd rather have alcohol three or more times a day. This behavior is a sure sign of alcoholism.
Alcoholism will not only alter your behavior, it will also modify your physical self. First, you will start skipping bath times and then you don't take them at all. Your hygiene becomes very poor, and people start getting disgusted of you because of it.
When in the morning you tremble, shiver and shake because you feel too weak without alcohol intake - you may be an alcoholic.
If you have these symptoms, stop denying your condition. Be brave, take a hold of your life, and go to a rehabilitation center. This is not only for your own benefit, but also for the people who are special to you.
