Signs and Symptoms of Alcoholism and Drug Addiction

What are the real signs and symptoms of alcoholism and drug addiction? When do you cross the line between being a social drinker or drug user – or even an occasional substance abuser – to becoming a ‘full-blown’ addict or alcoholic?

There also seems to be the mistaken perception that you have to be totally ‘down and out’ – just about living on the street – before you can be considered an addict. That just isn’t so.

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?
