Everyone knows your relationship with anyone should be well looked after and nurtured all the time, but when alcohol gets thrown into the mix it's a different ball game. It will and it does seriously jeopardize your healthy relationship with your family. Recent studies have shown that 95% of families who bring alcohol into a family relationship always end up with a dysfunctional family. Does this apply to you?
The key to stopping alcohol ruining your family relationship is to spot the problem straight away. If somebody is dependent on alcohol it doesn't just happen over night, as it is a gradual process and people slowly become alcohol dependent. The problem arises when the problem is spotted as a problem, as then it is probably too late for them to take the problem seriously and just opens the door to another alcoholic dysfunctional family.
In fact many dysfunctional families will just become blind to alcoholic related problems. The alcoholic will behave in such a way that they too become blind to the effects that they are having on their family. At this stage the amount of lies and excuses would have increased greatly as they need to spend more time down the pub or where ever they can get a drink.
It really is amazing what lengths a partner will go to in order to prevent other people finding out about their partner's condition. I mean, phoning up so say their partner can't make work (just cause they have got a hangover), is just too much. The really sad thing about these sagas is that the child's suffering causes poor school results.
The only way for an alcoholic and his family to get out of this delicate situation, is by the alcoholic admitting to his problem. Denying the problem will just make things worse, so the sooner an alcoholic starts to come to terms with their problem, the sooner they can stop hurting those whom they love the most. Denying the problem any further will just worsen the alcohol dependency symptoms.
It is completely wrong to cover up for an alcoholic partner as you are in a way preventing them from getting the help that they really need for a better life. You see no one else would cover up for them, and just suppose that you were the alcoholic...would you want someone to help you?
This article is supposed to be an eye-opener to all those who feel the affects of alcohol in their home, whether you are the alcohol abuser or the innocent bystander. Once the problem has been discussed then help is required immediately, so you should either phone up your local branch of A.A. or have a look at a great site at stopdrinkingadvice.org which seem to have the answer to help people stop drinking alcohol and really offer some great advice.
