Alcolism is a disease which is not known causes

The first thing to know is that you do not know the causes of the disease. The alcohol dependence is a universal disease. It exists in every country in the world, in all races in all climates. However, despite all research past and present, nothing explains why some people may be victims of alcohol while others do not face difficulties.
With sincerity, some patients reported problems that have driven to drink and believe to be the cause of their condition. A look closely, psychological grounds, concerns or the feast, loneliness or disagreement, unemployment or work are never the real motives, but more often the result of abuse. The "old drinkers" call it "excuses". It is true that tests reach all people who feel similarly, but all did not turn to alcohol.
It does not explain why most people who enjoy these drinks, do not become dependent, while our patients at the fair regulation of consumption is unworkable.

and that we can not heal
If the origin of the disease is unknown: we do not know why addiction is always final. So far, there is no treatment that can control it. We can repair the damage caused by alcohol abuse, can prevent relapse, but alcoolo-dependence itself is not curable. Unfortunately, no treatment can not find the pleasure to drink or share a drink again with a friend. There is no alternative to total and permanent abstinence. To establish or restore a natural consumption of alcoholic beverages is currently impossible thing.
In this condition, where the doctor has neither a drug nor a saving knowledge, we must not despair. Many people are doing, having understood the mechanism of a chain daunting.

when you start you can not stop
Alcohol is not part of essential products and is normally unnecessary. Although it is not vital to humans, it is now, in people's minds, a fully-fledged food.
Everyone knows that people need solid foods and liquid foods. The former are meat, vegetables, fruits, etc.. The latter provide the water needed: fruit juice, milk, wine, beer, cider, all mineral waters ...
Here's how it works: when the body needs solid foods, the spirit receives a message that called hunger. When the body needs liquid food, the mind receives a message which called thirst. We all know these two signals. When the signal hunger manifests itself we think more and more to eat. Rate it, we end up not even think more than that, if the meal is waiting.
But these two signals of hunger and thirst have their opposites perhaps most important for our health. They are called "satiety signals". They cut hunger or appetite at the right time; beyond, eating becomes less interesting and painful when a meal forced to continue. These contrary - also known as "instinctive judgement" - are very important for our healthy: they adjust to take food or drinks, the quantity necessary for the purposes of the body. They avoid serious illnesses by overload.
These signals are of extraordinary precision. Check our weight from one end of the year to another. In the meantime we eat nearly a ton of food. This weight remains the same whatever fantasies transient or changes with the seasons, physical activities, etc. .. A small disruption in advance or delay the onset of signs which we speak, lead thinness or obesity. For water precision is very high and each take drinking is strictly programmed by the body, the instinctive judgement is imperative: the displeasure quickly replaces pleased to quench thirst. These things that you have recognized, and goes for all foods and drinks except for certain:
-- Chocolate: For almost everyone, chocolate does not appear signals satiety but rather the desire to increase as we eat, but what makes it a popular delicacy, even after the meal;
-- Alcohol causes the same reaction, but not everybody gets them, for 8 to 11% of people, those who will both enjoy, and seek to suffer: alcoolo-dependent.
Alcohol is a food that is drunk. It prevents you from the onset of satiety signal and, worse yet, gives the greatest need. This reaction, which does not exist in everyone, is any danger of the disease since it goes in the opposite direction of biological laws, and thus life. It requires ingest toxic doses necessarily because the natural regulation never comes limit, as it is for other substances (except chocolate). Alcohol, for you, works in reverse of other foods. Being hospitalized on you did not given alcohol, and you have less and less interested as to rid your body. While, without eating, you would have been more and more hunger ....
Here's what happens in people alcoolo-dependent:
-- No alcohol in the body: no desire, no need;
-- Alcohol in the body: no longer drink even the desire to drink. It follows a psychological reaction research drink, but nobody, alcoholic or not, can not stop the consumption of a product which itself increases the appetite to eat.

and others?
Normally, when we have eaten there was more effort of will to be done to stop it. Precisely as well as sober people stop drinking. It is even why they are sober. This is very important, but perhaps, for you, very difficult to imagine.
You are all went to the restaurant or the terrace of a cafe. It does not escape you that neighbors sometimes leaving the table leaving a bottle of Beaujolais still half-full or a can of beer not completed. This could seem unthinkable, and some have told me going to finish ...
Think at the same time you have left bread in the trash without even thinking. That's the same way that the neighboring table has left the rest of drink. It has not done so because it would have had more willpower, or more moral or more strength of character ... Quite simply, for him, the envy of wine had disappeared, like yourself, the envy of bread that you've left.
So there is a difference between you and the others ( "civilians" as saying AA); your desire persists and increases as you drink "when I start I can not stop." But if the will is being tested there is alcoholism. And this is a natural law that, to drink or eat, it is always the loser. Here, humans only has to obey, without it our species would not exist. In fact, what the patient is not dependent vis-à-vis alcohol is the disappearance of need, that savings will, and that others are sober.

hidden reserves of alcohol
What has been said will explain many things. Foremost among the mania to do, and hide in reserves of alcohol. This "attitude typical of an alcoholic," as pointed out by a patient, sometimes becomes an obsession.
The dependent person who acts and behaves, without knowing it, like all beings who fear a deprivation of food or drink. A patient who buried his bottles in his garden had noticed that his dog's bones buried there. Both obedient to the same survival reflex. During the war each family was making provisions and "do not scream from the rooftops." At the dependent person, the fear of lack provokes the same reflexes and the same secret. This reflex that makes you reappear in a need that does not leave you. In this regard, this behavior is that of all living beings.

so hard to talk about
On the question of speech that the drinker encounter serious problems. Without his knowledge, the patient is faced with the impossibility of talk that everyone feels it is not enough to have the floor to express his thoughts. This stalemate has verbal precise origins; sexual modesty, which everyone knows, is the best example.
You should know that human beings are and that speaks to the place where the body obeys him but upside down when he has to obey her body. This may sound strange, but sex life is just one area where we must obey her body.
-- This is not the case for a job, a hobby, a walk here decides mind, body executes and says everything is completely and smoothly;
-- Against, in sexuality, so everything works well, the spirit must also perfectly possible to be guided by the body and obey him: this is something that does not tell or difficult, even not must not tell; modesty is sometimes assisted by deception, and adopt the language.
However, the person no longer dependent on alcohol to accompany a meal or for toast, accept or celebrate. She is going to drink any of these reasons but because his body has demanded and that it obeys. It does therefore can not say, nor talk about: taking alcohol becomes an act secret.
In general, better than anyone else, the patient is aware of these blockages that are necessary to bring him and the other so far. It is indeed moments where he needed to talk, especially when it starts to feel powerless to stop its own.
But what can not say more can not let itself be seen. As the sexual act, the act of drinking can be proved. The secrecy and solitude eventually prevail. It is understood that the patient wall, deceit, depressed and even feel guilty. It would be good to confide in someone, family, friend or doctor. You understand now why more was needed, the less you could speak.
And as always, the impotence of the floor is the source of all conflicts with an entourage away but that are increasingly needed. In this disease is perhaps the disorder of language that makes it more difficult. That is why we attach so much importance to groups of parole.
