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.

Why should you feel sorry for the alcoholic?
An alcoholic is not a victim. The friends and family of the alcoholic are the victims. ANSWER Alcoholism is not a condition that the alcoholic enjoys or wishes upon himself. The fact is most alcoholics that are still drinking are usually miserable and are ashamed that they cannot drink socially like most people. Alcoholism left untreated can lead to a painful death. Unfortunately family and close friends of the alcoholic will also experience anguish. The solution for the alcoholic is of course to stop drinking. This solution is found in treatment and A.A. If the alcoholic is not willing to work at the solution then family and friends need to sever all ties with the alcoholic to cease any further damage to themselves. Hopefully this will help motivate the alcoholic to seek treatment and recovery.

Why does it seem like my dad loves alcohol more than me and my family?
I'm assuming your father is an alcoholic, if he love alcohol, that's a problem, but that you believe that he loves it more than his family? that's a BIG problem, it may not be true, but if you think he does, then its just as bad. Your father is an alcoholic, its nothing to do with you or your family, its just the way he is.
What does being held hostage in alcoholic family mean?
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.
