What Is Alcoholism? Am I an Alcoholic?

Alcoholism is a common term used in place of alcohol use disorder (AUD). And according to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), approximately 15 million adults had AUD. This disease is characterized by a loss of control over one’s drinking habits:

  • Become irritable when they aren’t drinking
  • Drink alone or in secret
  • Lie about their drinking habits
  • Prioritize alcohol over their work responsibilities
  • Attempt to cut back on alcohol but fail to do so
  • Continue to drink even after suffering negative consequences
  • Have to drink more and more to obtain desired effects

Alcoholism can range in severity, as some will experience a few of the above symptoms but still be able to function in their everyday, while others suffer greatly in their day to day life. Not to mention, too much alcohol can lead to serious physical effects as well, of which can include:

  • Vision loss
  • High blood pressure
  • Liver disease
  • Cancer
  • Osteoporosis
  • Stroke

The possibility of developing one of these diseases stresses the importance of controlling your alcohol intake and getting professional help if you need it. If you do need this professional assistance, consider working with a counselor or therapist at Thriveworks Bethlehem. They have the skills, training, and experience to help you manage your alcohol use disorder or unhealthy drinking habits.

Kenneth Fulton has been my psychologist for over a year and a half. He has brought meaning back to my life, after losing my mother in February 2020 and dealing with covid. I can never put into words what his counseling has done for me. I went from a very dark place back into the light again. He's the greatest at what he does. I could go on and on about this counselor but that would take too long. Thank you Ken for everything you've done.

Through my sessions with Lora I’ve been able to stop doubting myself and my capabilities. My life has changed drastically for the better through her teachings and spot-on feedback. I started seeing Lora because I was going through a tough breakup and not only were we able to acknowledge the toxicity of that relationship, we were also able to tackle my productivity issues at work and I have since completely turned my career around. I feel as though I’ve been running with a ton of weight on my shoulders and Lora was able to guide me on how to liberate myself from all of these burdens and run freely! Thank you Lora, don’t know where I’d be without ya!

I worked with Christiana for nearly four years in a clinical setting. In our agency, she was known as a compassionate counselor and was very sought-after by clients because of her caring nature and ability to hold clients accountable when needed. Her solid clinical skills made her a colleague I could always count on for solid feedback and a very thorough way of addressing client needs. She was able to look at clinical issues from multiple perspectives and with a real sense of fairness and respect for the client. Christiana is a rare find in this field!
