Alcoholism is a Threefold Disease

Three Aspects of Alcoholism Individuals who are dealing with alcoholism will have plenty of problems in their life. 

It is to describe how their addiction impacts their life by dividing it into three types of damage: 

Alcoholism will damage people physically. Their health will tend to be poor. Even those who have only been abusing alcohol or a short period of time may already be experiencing the early stages of alcohol liver disease. 

Alcohol is a dangerous toxin and can destroy almost every organ in the body. *_Alcoholism will damage people mentally_. This type of substance abuse tends to have a devastating impact on mental health. It can cause people to develop mental health problems such as depression or anxiety. 

Those individuals who turned to alcohol to self-medicate their existent mental health problems will find that their symptoms are exacerbated. 

Alcoholism will damage people spiritually. Talk of spirituality usually conjures up images of religion, but there is more to it than that. Even non-believers can be said to have spiritual needs in reference to those things that give life meaning. This could include belief in a god or just wonder at the miraculous universe. Addicts often describe how they feel as having a hole in their soul. This is because their spiritual needs are not being catered for because of their alcoholism.Related articles
