Analyzing Ryan’s story and connecting it to Chapter 9 addiction behaviors. I will be discussing specific addiction behaviors shown by Ryan and his family. Exploring what addiction is and understanding how individuals' behaviors, as well as surrounding family members' behaviors, can contribute to the development of addiction.

In Chapter 9, we learned that alcohol Tolerance is when your body has a reduced response to the effects of repeated amounts of alcohol exposure. Ryan is showing signs of Tolerance because he has to consume a large amount of alcohol to not only be satisfied but to achieve the same effects as someone who does not have an alcohol use disorder. Ryan talks about how he started consuming alcohol in small amounts because of his dad and slowly increased his intake over time, which is the reason why his body can tolerate him consuming high doses of alcohol over time.

Developing a high tolerance for alcohol can increase your risk of experiencing withdrawal when you stop or lower the amount you are used to consuming. Ryan showed great signs of withdrawal when he couldn’t drink before getting an evaluation at the hospital. He displays many withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, physical discomfort, and frustration. We see at the end of the video that Ryan dies within 17 days of being in rehab; he dies because his body can no longer function without alcohol. Chapter 9 gives a deep understanding of how alcoholics' organs start failing or become damaged even if they receive treatment, which can sometimes lead to death. This emphasizes the devastating impact of alcohol addiction.

Ryan continued drinking alcohol despite the physical and psychological consequences. Ryan's high consumption of alcohol leads to his organs being damaged; Ryan is malnourished and can only eat 5 times a week because of how painful it is for his body to digest the food. Ryan's health continually declines throughout the movie as we see that it's hard for him to focus; he has slurred speech and impulsive behavior, which was seen in early signs of schizophrenia his father showed before being diagnosed with it.

Chapter 9 highlights how individuals use alcohol to cope with stress or past trauma. In the video, Ryan's family talks about his dad's addiction to alcohol, which I believe contributes to his addiction. His Persistent desire for substance can be a way for him to relieve stress or avoid his problems.
