Causes of Alcoholism

Work, school and even family can be a reason for stress. At work, our bosses could be very demanding especially if there is much work to be done and deadline is near. At school, the teachers could be pretty cranky and scolds us with no reason. And at the end of the day the steam blows inside our home where we let out all our anger which causes another conflict.

These are the reason why some people turn to alcoholism. They believe they can escape these conflicts by submerging ones body in alcohol. The state they reach when they hit toxicity is such euphoria for them that they ignore the consequences they get. Even though they know the adverse effect that alcohol can give them, they still have that constant urge of accumulating the substance to drown all there problems away. They have a problem that couldn’t be ignored and that wouldn’t stop if they don’t want to even if they would undergo alcohol detox.

It is such a misconception that alcohol can take away our dilemmas. This idea is wrong in all point for it only brings more complication into our lives. And not just to the person who is alcoholic but also to the people around. It also puts those people at risk of being the victim of violence due to the altered mental and physical complication that beer can cause.

As much as we’d like to help, the only way an alcoholic can be cured is if the person would want to. We can’t forcibly admit them in alcohol treatment centers if they are not willing to participate in the programs. As hard as it is to bare, we can only wait for them to realize their mistake and voluntarily undergo recovery.
