Alcohol Addiction And How Counselling Can Help?

Alcohol Addiction; These days, the rate of alcoholism is increasing alarmingly. And a combination of several reasons is responsible for the increased rate of alcoholism. Well, most of the times, the combination of genetic, environmental, social and psychological factors is responsible for alcohol addiction. To be more precise, the increase in the risk factors increases the probability of getting an alcoholic. Sometimes, those risk factors go out of control, and one has no other choice left other than becoming an alcoholic.

 What causes alcohol Addiction?

We have already mentioned that a combination of numerous causes/factors, leads a person towards the path of alcoholism. Let us know the causes more precisely:

  • Biological factor– Biological factors are one of the most significant reasons behind alcoholism. And when we are talking about biology, we are including both psychologies as well as genetics. You will find numerous people who can limit their alcohol consumption, but some people get the impulse of carrying on with the alcohol. On the other hand, alcohol gives pleasure to them, encourages their brain to repeat the behavior. And eventually, the repetition of this behavior leads towards alcoholism.
  • Environment factors– Numerous studies are going on to find out the proper relation between environment and alcoholism. Many researchers have found that people who have proximity to the bars and the liquor stores are more enthusiastic about alcohol, and they involve with this activity more than other people.
  • Social factor– Social factors are responsible for developing a person’s view of alcohol. Your religion, culture, family as well as work profile, contributes towards alcoholism. Amongst these, the family has the most significant role to play. Children who have witnessed alcohol abuse at an early age are more prone to developing alcoholism.
  • Psychological factor– Now, this is a broad field to explore. All of know that human psychology is a vast and complicated thing. And due to different psychological conditions, people develop the symptoms of alcoholism.
