Does the family need treatment when an alcoholic goes into rehab?
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.

What is the difference between an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic?
The answer is that a non-alcoholic given a substantial reason (i.e.- spouse, kids, job, probation, health) , can and will stop drinking and not start again. Certain text-books describe three different types of drinkers. The problem drinker is described as a person that, when drinking, experiences difficulties they would not have if they were not drinking. The next type of drinker is a "hard drinker" who may consume a large volume of alcohol on a regular basis but given a sufficient reason to cease drinking will stop. The real alcoholic will continue drinking regardless of the what is at stake in regards to financial security, personal relationships, or his/her own health.
How can you tell whether someone is just alcoholic or whether they are also a narcissist?
