What are the signs of alcoholism?
Chronic disease affecting mental and physical health, alcoholism is a condition that can impact all aspects of a person’s life. Directly linked to excessive alcohol consumption, it can quickly turn into a dependency with all the unfortunate consequences that follow.
It is sometimes difficult to detect that a person is suffering from alcoholism. So, what are the symptoms and consequences, and how can one combat this addiction to alcohol?
The warning and revealing symptoms of alcoholism
A person suffering from alcohol dependency develops a series of symptoms that can be, depending on the case, more or less easily noticed. The most obvious is the uncontrollable urge to drink alcohol, but there are others. Here are a few:
- Tendency to drink alone
- Withdrawal from social activities
- Increased tolerance to alcohol
- Mood changes
- Memory problems
- Neglect of personal appearance
- Avoidance of responsibilities
- Withdrawal symptoms when alcohol is stopped (tremors, nausea, anxiety, etc.)
If you exhibit several of these symptoms, you may be suffering from alcoholism.
Alcoholism: consequences with devastating effects
All these symptoms naturally have consequences (sometimes dramatic) on the life of the sick person and their surroundings, both on a private and professional level. They are characterized by behavioral changes and an overall worsening transformation of the person.
- Impact on physical and mental health: excessive alcohol consumption causes, among other things, liver cirrhosis, cancer, strokes, dementia, and mental disorders.
- Degradation of professional performance: the client shows repeated absences, lateness, decreased performance, and job loss.
- Social stigma: the alcoholic suffers discrimination due to their illness, resulting in employment, housing, and interpersonal relationship issues.
- Loss of self-esteem: the alcoholic loses confidence in themselves, leading to impulsive behaviors, reckless actions, and negative consequences on daily life.
- Relationship problems: the disease causes issues with family, friends, and colleagues due to erratic behaviors, reckless actions, and conflicts.
- Violence and aggressive behaviors: alcohol is a trigger for conflicts, making the person more impulsive and aggressive.
- Social isolation: the alcoholic gradually withdraws from social life, social events, and interactions with others.
How to combat alcoholism?
Being alcoholic is often poorly perceived by the affected person’s surroundings. The stereotypes are often the same: weakness, lack of willpower, or even a matter of choice rather than a disease.
Once the symptoms are clearly established and the disease recognized, the path to returning to normal is long and often punctuated by relapses. So, what strategy should be adopted to give oneself the best chances and reduce or stop alcohol consumption?
Actions to take to stop alcohol consumption
- Acknowledge the problem: the first step is to recognize that you are an alcoholic. If you have difficulty reducing or stopping drinking alcohol, consult your doctor.
- Develop a treatment plan: ask your doctor or a healthcare professional about the possibilities of behavioral therapy, group therapy, and medications that can help you. Some withdrawal methods, such as the laser method, are quick and effective.
- Avoid triggers: for example, social events where alcohol is served or stressful situations.
- Make healthy lifestyle choices: a healthy diet, physical exercise, and sleep can improve your overall health and reduce your alcohol consumption.
- Join a support group: the reference in the field is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
- Seek family and friend support: to help find the necessary motivation in your fight.
- Avoid social isolation: isolating yourself can only have negative consequences on your rehabilitation process.
An alternative laser method for your alcohol withdrawal
Besides the means mentioned above to overcome alcoholism, an alternative to restrictive treatments has emerged more than 30 years ago and has proven effective: the soft laser method.
This technique, derived from acupuncture, allows without medication, and in just one session, to end alcohol dependency. By stimulating certain points on the ear with a laser, the practitioner disconnects the synapses related to the need for alcohol. After the session, your need to drink disappears.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Works like a charm! An alcoholic for over 6 years who drank every day until I was drunk, I was weaned overnight without any desire or withdrawal (and without any symptoms such as trembling, agitation, etc.). No side effects, it's just incredible! Don't hesitate, the bride is not too beautiful 😉

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sugar withdrawal. This method was a real revelation. It has always been the biggest fight of my life. Since I was little. Since the laser, I haven't eaten a single sweet and it's so easy not to take any! No feeling of deprivation and the great bonus, fewer kilos. Thanks to Reset Laser for this new start!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I admit that I was a little skeptical about the idea of quitting smoking in ONE laser session ... but here it is a little over a month to this day and overnight it was a new life. A liberation after more than 25 years of tobacco consumption and more than a pack a day. It is never too late to quit .. and start another life 😊 especially at the price it costs these days .. I highly recommend this technique. A little over six months and no desire to start again ...

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hello, it's been exactly 1 month since I stopped smoking thanks to Reset Laser. After trying everything (hypnosis, chic, patch, electronic cigarette, etc.) I was finally able to free myself from this addiction. I was very skeptical and yet it works. No lack felt, no side effects (provided you want it and especially follow the personalized advice given to us of course). I thank Thomas for all his advice and his professionalism. I recommend Reset Laser 100%.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have definitely stopped since my appointment on 02/09/21 and this after more than 30 years of addiction to cigarettes! I wanted to stop but I was apprehensive since my previous attempt had failed (hypnosis). But it is clear that it works ++++! Thank you for removing this addiction from me and becoming a non-smoker 🙂

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 7 days after therapy, no feeling of physical lack. Excellent therapy that I recommend. Constructive dialogue with the therapist who explained the processes to me very well. Very available and then there is a follow-up after therapy which is a big plus. I recommend to all those who have made the decision to quit smoking and who need help in this process.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What attracted me the most was the 1-year guarantee. Here it is on the 23rd, it's been 2 months now that I stopped smoking and joints (28 years of addiction) 300 euros of cigarettes and 300 of joints per month. I never thought I would get there. This method deserves to be recognized. I never would have believed it possible. You can even smoke next to me, that doesn't tempt me. It's more of a moment of relaxation that I associated with my cigarette. And as the specialist told me. The (psychological) desire only lasts a minute. When you understand that. Some good advice. And a little willpower. But I didn't gain 20kg like all those who stopped on their own. (That was my biggest fear). I didn't blame those around me and I didn't have nightmares.. my physical addition has disappeared thanks to the laser.. bravo this method deserves to be recognized I repeat. For my part I have already persuaded some friends to go for it 😉👍💪 thank you again

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Successful smoking cessation! Special thanks to Thomas for his support after his intervention. As for the method, it was effective and a great help. You still have to want to quit smoking and get over the purely psychological urge in the first few days. Personally, I quickly lost the urge. I started doing sports straight after. Nothing is impossible when everything is in your head!
