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.
