ALCOHOL ADDICTION

WHEN ARE YOU ADDICTED TO ALCOHOL?

When a person becomes mentally and physically dependent upon alcohol then it is defined as an alcohol addiction. This is caused by the long-term use of alcohol so that in the long run you can no longer go without it. Drinking of too much alcohol will lead to physical, mental and emotional problems such as irritated stomach and relationship problems etc.

BACH FLOWER ESSENCES REDUCE THE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS

· Fears and hallucinations

When people stop drinking alcohol they often start having visual hallucinations, seeing things that aren’t there. These can be very frightening. Sometimes this can lead to panic attacks. Bach Flower Essences can reduce these fears and make sure these hallucinations don’t cause panic attacks.

· Restlessness

One of the withdrawal effects of alcohol rehabilitation is feeling restless. It is hard to keep still and you are agitated. Then the need to go back to drinking is raised again. Flower essences will bring peace and tranquillity so it reduces the need for alcohol.

· Problems with concentration

Concentration problems are common when somebody stops drinking alcohol. People are nervous, easily distracted, uneasy and afraid. This makes it hard to concentrate and stay focussed on the job at hand. As Bach Flower Essences take this unease and these fears away, this will automatically improve the ability to concentrate.

· Irritability

When a person no longer drinks alcohol, he/she often becomes very irritable. As before alcohol was playing a primary role and now this no longer is. The person will be very intolerable and very touchy. Their mood will be very down and unhappy. Flower essences will bring more tolerance and acceptance. This will make him/her feel better and make him/her less touchy.

· Change of lifestyle

When the alcohol drops away, it is as if a person’s life falls apart. His/her whole life was wrapped around it. Day to day contacts were all linked to drinking. Now most of them fall away and the person has to adjust to a new way of living. This change of habits and lifestyle will happen much smoother with the support of Bach Flower Essences.

· Depression

During the withdrawal period there will often be moments when the person doesn’t feel he/she can go through with it. He/she will go through very difficult states of mind like depression and melancholy. Here he/she will benefit from the use of Bach Flower Essences. They will make life more easier and let the sun shine through the dark clouds.
