What Is Alcohol Intolerance?
Alcohol intolerance is a real and often underdiagnosed condition. It’s not the same as an alcohol allergy, but it can be just as serious. If you have alcohol intolerance, drinking even a small amount of alcohol can cause uncomfortable symptoms like flushing, headache, and nausea.
Unfortunately, many people with alcohol intolerance don’t know they have it until they have a reaction. And, since reactions can vary from person to person, it can be hard to diagnose.
Alcohol intolerance can be particularly problematic if you have developed a dependence on, or have be diagnosed with an addiction to alcohol, as repeated exposure to alcohol can make the symptoms more dangerous.
The Bomb is the First One
“The bomb is in the first one” is a common statement in recovery communities.
If you are an addict, or even a problem user, once you have one, you are unable to stop.
Staying away from the first drug
Have you told yourself: “Never again!”?
And then do you think: “Yes, but that’s what happened because of the last drug – not the first one. That first one never hurt me”?
This is the common pattern of thinking that alcohol-addicted demonstrate.
It is best to avoid the first one, one day at a time, so you can avoid relapsing.
