For addict and family, it seems impossible to get rid of alcoholism but an important point to mention here is that, an alcoholic not only needs will power but skill power should be accompanied with an added ingredient of support from family. Before helping, family should wind up their own problems, work on their selves, their codependent attitude, gather information related to disease and then take up the project of becoming support in recovery to the loved one. There are basically two parts of alcoholism: quantity of alcohol and drunkenness.
Family should consider this thing that they can’t help while hurting. They should seek help from the professional, and avoid enabling and provoking behavior. They should not make excuses for their ill behavior. Adopt long term approach i.e. give the deadline while warning to quit or decrease alcohol consumption and assess throughout that period and then evaluate after the given time mentioned in the topic Expert Opinion on “Alcoholism is a Disease” . Accept the patient with all negatives. Rejection can never bring change; rather it lowers the moral of person.
Alcoholism is a family disease and it affects the whole family. Family should not tolerate the undesirable behaviors because it is like an enabling path for addiction. Begin the treatment with an end in mind. The most important breakthrough to control your or your loved one’s addiction, is a need to come out from the fear, the superstitions and myths. Change the paradigms and cope with fears and phobias
