How does alcohol abuse progress over time?

Alcohol abuse can progress in stages, from occasional excessive drinking to more severe dependence. Early stages might involve increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and negative impacts on relationships and work. As dependence deepens, individuals may experience physical and psychological problems, including liver damage, anxiety, and depression. In severe cases, alcohol abuse can lead to life-threatening conditions like alcohol-induced hepatitis or withdrawal seizures.

How can I tell if my partner is struggling with alcohol dependence?

Recognising signs of alcohol dependence can be challenging, but some common indicators include:

Increased tolerance, the need to drink more to achieve the same effects
Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or quit
Excessive time spent obtaining, using, or recovering from alcohol
Neglecting responsibilities due to alcohol use
Continued use despite negative consequences

If you notice these signs, it's important to have an open and honest conversation with your partner and consider seeking professional help.

What qualifications and training are needed to become an alcohol counsellor?

The specific requirements for becoming an alcohol counsellor may vary depending on the country and region. However, most programs involve a combination of education and training, including:

Bachelor's Degree: Typically in a related field such as psychology, social work, or counselling
Specialised Training: Courses in alcohol and substance abuse counselling, addiction theory, and intervention techniques
