 Help for Alcohol
problems and Alcoholism
Alcohol problems are more prevalent than
you might think. Alcohol abuse is not only found among
the indigent or unemployed. Quite the contrary 1in 10 of
the normal population has a drink problem. Most Problem
Drinkers have families and hold down jobs. Problem
drinkers are just as likely to be highly functioning
professionals as any other category of person.
If a person is exposed to a heavy drinking
culture or a long term high stress situation, then the
incidence of alcohol dependence increases dramatically.
Recent studies found that the rate of alcoholism in the
legal profession at between 15% and 24%. Roughly 1 in 5
lawyers are addicted to alcohol.
If
your partner has an alcohol problem you are statistically
more likely to suffer from Depression and Anxiety. Family
members of problem drinkers become ill themselves because
they are coping with a chronic high stress situation.
Children of problem drinkers are far more likely to chose
partners with an addictive problem or develop addictive
problems as adults.
Help is available for Problem Drinkers and
for their families; the trick is to recognise when
Alcohol has become a problem.
