Are you an alcoholic? |
How do you know when you have crossed the line into alcoholism? My brother in law is an alcoholic I believe. He drinks daily, even first thing in the morning. I have seen where he goes through 1-2 pints of vodka a day. I'm worried about him. He seems to be functioning with work and social life. When he drinks he doesn't seem to ever get drunk but gets to where he ignores everyone, tunes people out, numb to the world around him. That's just it, I have talked to everyone, but it's all dysfunctional. Everyone downplays the problem. When I discovered 12 empty vodka bottles in his trash I was appalled and told his family. I wasn't snooping in his trash it was out in the open... Anyway, his family all had a talk with him and he said it was under control and they believed them. It's hard because he hasn't really hit rock bottom, he's a functioning alcoholic and has been for 20 or more years. I have been sober for over 14 years, and it was the hardest thing I have ever done to stay that way. I believe everyone that has this problem hits there own bottom of the barrel, so to speak. Mine was waking up in a wet bed because I lost control of my bladder. I went to AA the same day and have never faltered. Pray for him as I will that he reaches his bottom soon and realizes that life is too precious to throw away. I can't say enough for AA, they simply say I am not going to drink today, and the days start piling up. If there is an AA chapter in your town please ask them how to help him. God bless Talk to your family about it. Maybe all together you can help him. |
