discuss How to deal with addiction to alcoholic ?

[lens]

To get out of alcohol addiction is a complicated issue. One of my siblings is addicted and the sight of him battling such addiction causes deep sadness in me because he lose control of himself.

This hit me personally and I understand the immense difficulty of this challenge. I think the first step to deal with alcohol addiction is by admitting that you need help and getting professional assistance immediately.

Secondly, a person struggling with such situations should eliminate all possible triggers. Though, it's very challenging but it's achievable..

There was a time I was going through life challenges and I resorted to alcohol for comfort. But I was able to do away with it by determination. So, I choose meditation and engage in other activities as ways to handle stress better. I count myself as lucky because I had an excellent support from family and friends as such may not be available for everyone. I'm still very greatfull that I got myself back before it destroys me

My uncle is a drunk.

He's turned everyone against him, including me and I lived with him throughout my teen years. He gets mean, threatens violence (but never does it) against other family members and just says nothing but negative things.

No one can make him happy, and he has to one up everyone.

I used to get drunk for pain, but I stopped getting drunk more than 10 years ago. I used to socially drink, 1-2 beers on the weekend. But watching him be such a pain to everyone made me completely quit drinking despise the act of it. I have no more interest in consuming any type of alcohol.

I'll report any drunk driver or intoxicated person in public I see, too. They get what they deserve.

And for my uncle, I've blocked him on everything and now we're estranged and he's alone completely because he has run everyone off.

That's what booze does to families.

The best way to stop alcoholic addiction is to never start drinking and becoming a drunk. If someone ends up becoming a drunk, it takes the special grace of God for that person to quit alcohol and a lot of therapy session.

Most of the time alcoholic are also battling with mental health issues. I have two uncles who are alcoholic and both have suffering form depression. One of the uncles started medication and now he drinks occasionally.

Dealing with an alcohol addiction is never easy and it can make the people around you feel awful and it can also break their heart watching and feeling as though they are unable to do anything to help or wondering where to even start.

I have found that a lot of the time, many turn to alcohol due to mental health issues such as depression and once they get started and become addicted, it is never easy to just stop.

The only thing you can really do to help someone who is addicted to alcohol is to try and get them help, even if you have to be firm, book them into rehab and take them there to get the help they need, that might be the only way. There is a saying that goes "You have to be cruel to be kind" and in this case, that is very much what may have to happen.

The other option is to leave them until the realize that they need help and reach out for it themselves but just leaving them to realize could lead to it being too late.

Oh! I'm so sorry to hear about your siblings struggling with alcohol addiction. I consume alcohol as well but I do it moderately because I acknowledge the danger in its addiction. People that are struggling with it should seek professional assistance and try to do away with everything that triggers it. That's just my 2cents!

Smoking should also be added to the things those people have to battle with when they are depressed. Drinking and smoking go hand in hand for those that are suffering from any kind of mental challenges.

Depression is the number one thing that causes addiction to alcohol. So addressing the underlying issue is very important. In that case, it is necessary to seek professional help like taking medications to help solve the situation. I find that alcoholic addiction is mostly a result of mental issues.

Alcohol addiction is not something that people just break free easily like that. It is always characterised by partial or even complete dependency on the alcohol. The best thing to do at that point is to take it step by step in withdrawal in combination with therapy.

Dealing with alcohol addiction requires honest acknowledgment that you have addiction and are ready to seek support whether through therapy, support groups, or medical help.
