There is saying if you lived with an alcoholic husband
you’re suffering from alcoholism as well. The reason is that alcoholism is a
family disease and in order to cope with your spouse alcoholism you need to
develop defense mechanisms that will get in your way of your happiness.
Sometimes you might feel hopelessness, fear, and despair even if you are stone
cold sober. The reality is that if your spouse is struggling with alcoholism
you will also became sick and you will need to recover.
The other things that addiction takes away are the ability
to communicate honestly and direct. It is not easy thing to begin with in the
world. The other reason that gets people to drunk is the ability of failing to
solve problems and sometimes it might be for fun. The other possibilities is
that the husband has taken form his family or parents.
The wife must not cover husband drinking habit and it will contribute
to his habit. Just face reality and make him realize it too if not honestly
about it.That will help him to deal with it not directly.Somtimes if you have
husband who is sensitive and not able to overcome the problem. The husband can
overcome the problem if only he has the support.
Do not lose hope with him but is patient and do not
criticize, comment, with him because it will not help him at all. Rather wait
for him when he is sober and remind him of his promises to stop using alcohol
when he starts to drink again. Make sure you always not giving him the space
and time to sit down to drink. The other thing you can do encourage him to see
the professional counselor to regain his lost self-esteem.
If the alcohol victim has children he should stop to drink
because that can affect the children at home mentally. The best option is to tell
your husband to stop it for the sake of the children. If the problem persists
the wife can leave the husband to carry on with her life and move on with your
life.
