Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms
Tolerance – Warning Sign #1
Having to drink more alcohol each time you drink, in order to feel the effects of it is a serious warning sign that you’re building a tolerance to it. Building up a tolerance to alcohol is a clear indication that you’re falling into the early stages of alcohol abuse. Continuing to drink large amounts of alcohol will lead to an even deeper stage of alcohol abuse.
Withdrawal – Warning Sign #2
Many people who rely too much on alcohol actually experience withdrawal symptoms when their body starts to detox from it. This usually happens in the mornings, after a night’s sleep. Do you experience shaky hands in the morning? Does drinking alcohol relieve these symptoms? If so, this is a major warning sign that you may have an alcohol addiction that can only be helped by rehab.
As your body starts to depend on alcohol, you end up with withdrawal symptoms that only alcoholics experience. Do you experience any of the following symptoms when you haven’t been drinking?
Symptoms of Alcohol abuse:
- Anxiety or jumpiness
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Shakiness or trembling
- Sweating
When alcohol abuse is in its most severe case confusion, seizures, fever, hallucinations, and agitation can become an issue. All of these symptoms are dangerous to ignore. Be sure to talk with your doctor and then an addiction treatment professional to talk about your options for recovery.
