Alcoholism….what Are the “Early Signs”?

Question by brenda: Alcoholism….what are the “early signs”?
I have someone very dear to me that has started drinking…she has drank off and on for years…..no problem….stops drinking cold turkey even after she has reached a half case a day….but she has begun again, and something is “different” about her…she seems to worry about not having enough to drink on hand….especially on Saturdays….she will do anything to make sure she has something to drink on Sundays….Alcoholism does run in her family…is she at risk?….let me add that she has a very strong mind and CAN quit anything….drugs, cigarettes, and even alcohol….it’s just that this time….someting is different is all I can say

To me alcoholism boils down to one question. Does alcohol or whatever (gambling, drugs, shopping, coffee, sugar, etc)negatively effect your life in any way. And if it does, you need to quit. If it does not, enjoy. Simple?
