However, if you don’t try, you’ll never know.

1. Alcohol and the Family

The consumption of alcoholic beverages can cause addiction and other disturbances due to excessive and irregular use, negatively affecting the family and those close to them. It is a great promoter of domestic violence, separation of couples, interpersonal conflicts, child and parental neglect, in addition to financial and legal difficulties. Furthermore, disagreements, lack of credibility and mistrust are feelings aroused in people who have already gone through the experience of having a dependent and, when there is a dependent in the family, everyone gets sick.

The person who has problems with alcohol and the family does not recognize that they are sick and dependent on this substance. The fear that the disease causes, in addition to suffering and feelings of guilt and shame, makes the whole situation hidden from the family, which makes treatment and rehabilitation of the person even more difficult.

Often, there is alcohol abuse for a long time until family members find out and dependents recognize that there is a problem. They deny that they have an illness or that the link with consumption has an impact on their daily routines.

2. “My daughter is an alcoholic… what do I do?”

You can be a wonderful mother, who does everything for the children, and yet they feel that they are missing something they are trying to complete with addiction, or that their suffering is unbearable and that their only way out seems to be to consume to stifle what they feel .

For children, it’s important to remember that no matter how much you pretend you’re okay, that you don’t need help, a parent will always know the truth, and it’s not worth hiding anymore.

For parents, it is important to point out that children need their parents’ help, although it doesn’t seem like it. They may be desperate, but proud or scared enough not to be able to recognize it.

In the problem of alcohol and the family, parental support is essential to face an addiction that comes to completely control someone’s life. However, this one has so much power that it even blinds him and, for this reason, asking for outside help is valid, legitimate and indispensable. You don’t need to be alone. However, it is not always easy to admit that there is a problem and that you cannot solve it yourself.

Giving up on the person will not contribute to their change, and living with the guilt of someone who did nothing does not seem like a viable option. However, emotional support, understanding, and sometimes just being there is more help than you think.

SUMMARY

The family tries to hide the problems, thus reducing social interactions so that this type of damage is not noticed by people outside the family.
