Does My Family Really Care? (Alcoholic and Addict???)?
Question by : Does my family really care? (alcoholic and addict???)?
(I drink and smoke weed all the time and I’m trying to quit)I’m 29 years old, I live with my dad, I have 3 older siblings. My mom passed away when I was 18.(2 weeks before my 19th birthday). I have been in trouble with the law since I’ve been 16. I recently got a DUI back in June.(this would be my 3rd DUI). I have come to realize that every time I have been arrested or in trouble, alcohol has been involved. I saw a psychiatrist in April and he put me on Lexapro for my anxiety disorder(bipolar disorder). I have been going to group counseling(required by the state) and I have come to realize that not 1 member of this family has tried to reach out and help me with my alcohol addiction. NOT ONCE! My family only helps me when it’s too late. I really want to stop drinking, and I’ve tried, but my dad will make dinner or somethin’ and he’ll tell me “there’s beer in the fridge”. I can’t take this anymore, considering that my dad said this family gave up on me, but did they ever care in the first place. I try to talk to my dad about my mental disorder and alcoholism but all he ever tells me is “you’re not an alcoholic” or “you don’t have a mental disorder”. WHY DOES MY DAD NOT WANT TO BELIEVE THAT ONE OF HIS CHILDREN IS MESSED UP IN THE HEAD??? remember, that my dad knows that I drink all the time, and I smoke weed all the time(I want to say used too, because I’m trying to stop) Once again, not one person in this family has ever talked to me about my drinking problem. He knows I go to AA meetings and counseling, but pretty much laughs at me.
another way of putting it is why does my family look the other way with my serious problems

Preparing For An Alcohol Treatment In Indiana For Someone In The Family
Having a person in the family addicted to something as vicious as alcohol is bad enough, but worse is the phase where you go through the treatment program. In Indiana, it is considered a huge task to get an alcoholic person convinced to get enrolled in a treatment center, and what follows after the admission actually takes place is no less demanding. The biggest brunt of this is felt on the family of the person. They have to be completely prepared and prepped up to face the various aspects of the alcohol treatment program. Here are a few typical things that families planning an alcohol treatment in Indiana for someone among them will be expected to go through.
