How To Overcome Problems That Damage Family

If one would be honest, alcoholism is one of the major factors that
damage family. Can this problem be solved and how can it be solved?
Come along with me.
 One famous book long ago indicated that misuse of alcohol can disrupt
family peace. The corrosive effects of alcoholism are felt by the
entire family. The spouse may become absorbed in efforts to stop the
alcoholic's drinking or to cope with his (alcoholic as a male)
unpredictable behavior. She tries concealing the liquor, throwing it
away or hiding his money and appealling to his love for family, for
life but alcoholic still drinks. As an effots to control his drinking
meet with repeated failure, she feels inadequate and frustrated. She
may start to suffer from guilt, anxiety, nervousness, fear, even
anger.
 Children also are negatively affected by parent's alcoholism.
Frequently their ability to trust others is shattered by the
alcoholic's inconsistent behavior. Because they cannot comfortably
talk about what is happening at home, the children may learn to
suppress their feelings, often with harmful physical consequences.
Those children may carry this lack of self confidence right into
adulthood.
 Some people and many authority agree that alcoholism cannot be cured,
most agree that a measure of recovery is possible with a program of
total abstinence. Getting an alcoholic to accept assistance is easier
said than done, since he usually denies that he has a problem.
Nevertheles, when family members take steps to deal with the way the
alcoholism has affected them, the alcoholic may begin to realize that
he has a problem. One physician with experience in helping alcoholics
and their families said that the most important thing is for the
family simply to go about their business of living in the healthiest
way they can. The alcoholic more and more gets confronted with how big
the contrast is between him and the rest of the family. But if there
is an alcoholic in your family, you must consider some principles that
have helped families to deal successfully with alcoholism.
 Do not feel that you must always shield the alcoholic from the
consequences of his drinking. Let the alcoholic feel the effects of
his drinking. Let him clean up after himself or call his employer the
morning after a drinking episode. Do not hesitate to rely on
companions for support. Talking with others who understand the problem
or who have faced a similar situation may provide you with practical
suggestions on what to do and what not to do. Be balanced, then speak
with those people you trust, those who will protect your confidential
talk. One thing is obvious, there is a solution. Till next time,
