After completing his pre-medical studies at the University of Miami in Florida, Dr. Joel Match earned his medical doctorate at the Autonomous University of Guadalajara. His lengthy career began as a medical doctor at a family practice before he founded the Medical Offices of Joel W. Match M.D. in Washington. Today, Dr. Joel Match is the owner of Addiction Care and Treatment in Virginia. A large part of his work involves working directly with people who have alcohol dependence.
It's often difficult to determine if you have an alcohol dependence, particularly if you can function normally beyond your drinking. However, there are several hidden signs of dependence to look out for.
Lying about your alcohol consumption suggests that you believe you're drinking too much. Lies are often prompted by shame, which is an indicator that you have a dependency. Taking advantage of any opportunity you have to drink and spending a lot of time drinking alone are also signs. You may also have a dependency if you experience the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal after not drinking for a couple of days. These symptoms include anxiety, mood swings, bodily tremors, sweating, and unclear thinking.
