I started out drinking just casually with friends. Somehow, I slipped into the cycle of alcohol addiction almost without noticing. I don’t want to be dependent on alcohol, yet I am. Why is this happening to me?

Unfortunately, many people find themselves in situations like yours. That’s because the human brain responds favorably to the chemical reactions it experiences when you drink alcohol. Over time, your body becomes more and more dependent on the “buzz” you get when you drink. Unfortunately, that buzz dies off, and when it goes away, you reach for the bottle again to get back to that feeling. Before long, you are addicted, even if in your heart you know it isn’t good for you. Addiction doesn’t discriminate, and it’s a painful reality that many people must face. I hope you get in touch with your doctor or local rehab center so they can help you. Good luck!

This is happening to you because your body and brain became addicted to the feelings caused by alcohol consumption. When you drink, the ethanol in alcohol reaches your brain and causes chemical reactions. Your brain enjoys these feelings and latches on. Over time, your body starts to crave alcohol more and more as you become addicted. You can get help, though. I’d recommend you speak to your local rehabilitation center right away as they could guide you on a better path. Remember that you’re not alone.
