Some of us are born with a genetic make up that predisposes us to it. Anyone can have it. Some groups that are more suseptable than others are Scandinavians and American Indians. My kids are both. Just because the genes are there dosn't mean you will be an alcoholic,other things go into it.
Home Life is a big one. The attitudes,behaviors,perceptions,value systems at home while growing up can lead to need for escapism.
How we choose to escape makes a difference. Drinking,drugging,sports,music,dancing,exercise,reading,creating,sex? These choices impact our lives.
How we choose to deal with stress. It can be our kids,spouse,finances,illness,jobs,careers,diet,under worked over worked that causes stress in our lives. Faulty ways of coping aside from substance abuse can lead to substance abuse itself.
Adults and teens with ADD often choose to self medicate to calm themselves down.
Using drugs and alcohol that are seditives will be affective but with side affects that are undesirable.
Some women crave alcohol during PMS. I Do not understand why.
some people like the taste of alcohol and the burning relaxing sensation it has going down.
These are things I have learned along the way of life. Please share yours.
