Yes. Alcoholism is a family disease because everyone in the family is affected in some way by the actions of the alcoholic. Children may feel responsible because in their immature minds, they believe if they were better children, the alcoholic would not drink. Spouses may inadvertently promote the drinking without understanding how they could be doing it. Also, when an alcoholic goes into treatment the only thing that changes is the alcoholic. If the family dynamics don't change, the alcoholic is returning to the same toxic environment. While the family is not the cause of the drinking, a slippery slope exists giving the alcoholic an "excuse" to go back to drinking. It is important for the family to remember that they did not cause the alcoholic to drink, they cannot control the drinking and they cannot stop the alcoholic from drinking.
