"Nothing binds us like human vices." O. de Balzac A family where there is an alcoholic and children has a certain set of roles with which everyone in the family lives and functions. The role is alcohol-dependent. Subconsciously seeks to escape from reality, tries to artificially change his mental state in order to would live in the illusion of security and balance. Without alcohol there is no balance in life. There is no security in life. Role - co-dependent The rest of the family - wife and children. Integrated relationship with their alcoholic, a tendency towards rescue heroism, self-sacrifice, lack of personal self-identification. Such relationships do not contribute to the development of independence, “block” creative abilities, ignore uniqueness inherent in the human personality as such. In the course of such relationships, the whole family develops a common, stable feeling of losing oneself, dissolving one’s own personality in another. The state of co-dependence is characterized by: 1) delusion, denial, self-deception; 2) compulsive actions (unconscious irrational behavior that a person may regret, but still acts as if driven by an invisible inner force): 3) frozen feelings; 4) low self-esteem; 5) health problems associated with stress. And then those who are weaker (as a rule, children) will quite law-abidingly become dependent, “choosing” some kind of addiction, and not necessarily alcohol, in their adult life. This is such a sad cycle in nature... How to get out of this closed cycle circle? A lifelong journey. Treatment of an alcoholic is the beginning of the journey. Treatment gives a respite for a couple of months. These couple of months should be devoted to completely changing the family’s lifestyle. Include psychotherapy for the whole family (paid and, as a rule, expensive) or groups of anonymous alcoholics, such as Al-Anon. For free. Classes for many years, sober and, therefore, a happy family life. 16 films about alcoholism; 1. "The Crew", 20122. "The Lost Weekend", 19453. "Days of Wine and Roses", 19624.
