In modern professional alcohol recovery circles, medical personnel and therapists will use the term alcohol use disorder or AUD for short. This covers the whole range of people with concerns about their drinking.
Have you ever found yourself questioning your relationship with alcohol? In this episode of The Alcohol Recovery Show, Antonia Ryan takes on the question that lingers in many minds: 'Am I an alcoholic?' She breaks down the stigma and misconceptions tied to the label 'alcoholic' and introduces the term 'alcohol use disorder' (AUD) to cover a wide range of drinking concerns.
Antonia dives into the spectrum of AUD, explaining that it's not just about fitting a specific label but recognizing the serious, repeated, unwanted consequences of drinking. If you've faced negative outcomes from alcohol, she stresses the importance of considering whether continuing to drink is worth the risk. This episode also features a helpful questionnaire designed to guide listeners in assessing their own drinking habits. Antonia's compassionate approach aims to shed light on the benefits of seeking help and accepting support.
