Those of us living with an active alcohol abuser - drinking most of the time, unable to easily stop drinking, maybe drunk more often than not - seem to have trouble realising that we do have a problem drinker. Maybe we cannot face the reality that the drinking is out of control.
What we are doing is DENYING that there is a problem in our family. After all, we feel the SHAME, maybe we feel that we CAUSED the drinking, and we try to COVER UP all of the nasty stuff that happens.
One of the hardest things is to accept that we have a problem drinker on our hands. Once we seek help, we begin to realise that probably, we have an ALCOHOLIC on our hands.
This is something we all go through - first DENIAL, then ANGER and FRUSTRATION and maybe then we begin to look for help.
Does this sound like you? It's what I went through. How I got help is detailed over in the HELP PAGES so if you want to start thinking about some help, I suggest you read through those pages.
God Bless.
