This is an addiction that is extremely difficult to cure. AA - Alcoholic Anonymous - is just one of the many groups attempting to cure this addiction. There are many questions about help and many feel that there isn't any effective cure. Having worked with female alcoholics as an intern, I tend to agree that this condition is difficult to cure. But if you understand the basic psychological reasons for the addiction, you might be able to find some relief. I personally feel that the underpinnings of this addiction has to do with a person's fear to express anger. That might be childhood related or a societal condition. There is a good chance of finding some relief by establishing a pattern that will allow the alcoholic to express his/her anger. For this you need some instruction. You will find all the necessary tools in Chapter 8, 'The Framing of Anger: How to BLow Your Top Safely" in Meyer's "Marriages, Shack-ups and Other Disasters." There is also more information on my Bio Page and website. There is a great e-book out there that is called "How to Stop Drinking" and is directed at the whole family.

The emotional complexities of growing up in an alcoholic family make it extremely difficult to break away from the craziness and build a healthy life of your own. Leaving the presence of the presenting alcoholic does not automatically "fix" the emotional problems caused by the relationship, which will be revisited until some sort of therapy has helped the family member deal with the emotional damage that always exists in alcoholic families. Add to that the unwillingness of alcoholics to let go of anything, let alone the people who have been supporting them in their disease, and the term "hostage" is quite accurate.
You make land sustainable by sustaining it. Keep it healthy instead of destroying it in the first place.
