What is an Alcohol Use Disorder?

Alcohol use disorder, or alcoholism, is a pattern of alcohol use that makes it difficult to control your drinking. You’ll continue using alcohol even when it causes problems in your life, and you’ll have to drink more to get the same effect. And, if you try to quit alcohol, you’ll suffer intense withdrawal effects that make it difficult to stay sober.

Even a mild alcohol use disorder can cause significant problems in your life. You might get a DUI, be put on probation at work or develop health problems. Without intervention, this mild disorder can turn into a more serious one that compromises your physical, emotional and social health.

Sadly, most people who drink heavily do not get better on their own. They need some type of intervention to safely detox from alcohol, as well as therapy to learn new ways of coping. Fortunately, people with alcohol use disorders respond well to evidence-based treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

What are the Signs & Symptoms of an Alcohol Problem?

Addiction follows a similar path regardless of the substance you’re addicted to. Eventually, the drug will take precedence in your life and strip you of who you are. Because alcohol is legal, accessible and even glorified at times, it can be difficult to tell when you’ve crossed the line.

Here are some signs that an alcohol use disorder may be present:

  • Being unable to cut down or limit the amount you drink
  • Spending a lot of time drinking and recovering from drinking
  • Feeling strong cravings or urges to drink
  • Failing to fulfill obligations at work, school or home
  • Giving up hobbies and activities to drink more
  • Developing a tolerance to alcohol
  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you try to quit
