Withdrawal symptoms ranging from mild tremors to anxiety.

How do people develop it?
The condition is characterised by the fact that the sufferer, despite many attempts at control, finds that his drinking and the attendant consequences continues to get worse over the period. The dependent person's guilt, shame and remorse levels become increasingly more burdensome. Attempts to stop can result in withdrawal symptoms which are relieved by taking more alcohol. Attempts at control - 'just a couple of drinks won't hurt' - almost always end in drunkenness. Things seem to get progressively worse. It is often accompanied with feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.
