I know that alcoholism runs in my family and I always wanted to be so careful with drinking. I am beyond disappointed in myself that I am now 30 years old and clearly addicted to drinking. I can’t go a day without it. Why did this happen to me?

Alcoholism is an easy hole to fall into and a rough one to climb out of. It can be genetically passed down from your parents or close relatives. In fact, genetics are half the risk factor for developing alcohol use disorder. This means that you drink too much and have trouble controlling your use. To be an alcoholic all you need to do is drink habitually and have trouble staying away from alcohol on your own. It really is a disease and itll be a lifelong battle to stop using and to stay in recovery. You have to really want to change your life, and relapsing is easy because its legal and available.

If can run in your family and manifest after your first drink. Its really impossible to know whether youll be a person that can stop drinking, or one of the people that cant. The reasons behind alcoholism are based as much in your mental state as they are in your physical makeup. If you think you have a problem, its always better to talk to a professional.

You might benefit from sitting in on an alcoholics anonymous meeting for that answer. Those people have been there, and they can give you some insight on why youre doing what youre doing. Sometimes, getting an outside perspective is the best way to understand your behavior. It also has to do with the way that you were raised.

First of all, your family history means you are at risk of addiction. Other factors such as environment, stress and trauma may also have played a role. When you started drinking more, your body responded positively because it liked the chemical reactions going on in your brain. In reality, you were becoming addicted to alcohol. Many people wake up one day and realize that what they thought was just a habit has turned into full-on alcoholism. You can get help and achieve a sober lifestyle if you go to rehab, so I would encourage you to look into those options.

Sadly, people with a family history of alcoholism often fall victim to the disease of addiction. In your case, you may have started drinking to cope with something, whether it be stress, trauma, anxiety or something else. You felt better when you drank, and your brain enjoyed the “buzz” you felt, so you kept doing it. This is how people become addicted. Don’t give up now, you can get help and return to your sober and happy lifestyle. I wish you all the best!
