Signs of alcoholism you won’t want to ignore

I’m sure it won’t surprise you that I could tell you more than 10 signs of alcoholism! With over 24 years’ experience as a (couple) counsellor and over 8,000 counselling sessions under my belt, I’ve seen many different signs and symptoms of alcohol misuse.

I’ve seen both individuals and couples who presented with the effects of alcoholism – their lives, including their relationship, slowly unravelling. In fact, I should really say – I often discovered that there was an alcohol problem. They often came for help with their depression, stress and anger problems problems and… “Oh, by the way… I am/he or she is drinking a bit too much”.

This article is for you individually whether you are the drinker or the partner of someone with an alcohol problem, as there is some extra advice for you.
