Sharon had been engaging in abusive drinking behavior since her freshman year in college. Now, four years later, she drank more than ever. One Monday evening when she was feeling a bit run down, Sharon made up her mind to stay home, unwind, and watch television. While seeking to find a program to watch that would capture her attention, she at once became attracted to a special program about young adult and adolescent drinking predicaments.

The speaker articulated the difference between alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction and then discussed the subject of alcoholic symptoms and alcoholic behavior. When the narrator went into detail about an individual's symptoms of withdrawal and some of the more familiar alcohol dependency signs and symptoms that alcohol addicted individuals exhibit, Sharon got quite troubled because it almost seemed as if the narrator was talking specifically to her.

After watching the television special, Sharon made a promise to herself that she would telephone her health care provider the next workday and schedule an appointment to discuss her abusive and excessive drinking.

When the following morning arrived, true to her word, Sharon called her health care provider and scheduled an appointment. While she was waiting for the day of her appointment to arrive, she went on the Internet and did a search for alcoholism symptoms. Especially noteworthy were the following signs or symptoms: serious work-related and relationship problems, increasing irritability, sleep problems, sneaking a few extra drinks before social events, and making excuses to drink at almost every opportunity.

Simply put, due to the fact that Sharon manifested all of these symptoms she went deeper in her Internet search and found several blogs and websites that highlighted different alcoholic symptoms and warning signs. One of the signs that really caught her interest was the following: "Do you often drink after promising yourself that you won't?"

Another alcohol dependency symptom that grabbed her awareness was the following: "Have friends irritated by condemning your irresponsible and abusive drinking?" A third alcohol addiction symptom was the following: "Do you desire a drink when you first awaken in the morning?"

The final alcohol dependency warning sign that made her feel slightly uneasy about her irresponsible and excessive drinking was the following: "Has your motivation dropped off since you started drinking on a more regular basis?" When Sharon read this sign she visibly realized that drinking had become a critical issue in her life because of her diminished energy level and also because she stopped pursuing her dreams and her passions.

After thinking about all of these destructive alcohol dependency symptoms and signs, Sharon at first felt disheartened. Then something thrilling occurred. She realized that she was going to see her doctor about her irresponsible and excessive drinking and she also knew that she would talk about her alcohol dependency warning symptoms and signs.

In truth, for the first time in several months, Sharon frankly felt a sense of optimism because she was facing her irresponsible and excessive drinking and was after all has been said and done ready to make the required alterations so that she could restore the life that was drifting away.
