Major mistakes of loved ones of alcoholics
A drinking husband in a family is comparable to a natural disaster. Usually, women don’t understand how to do the right thing in this situation and make mistakes that make the situation worse.
Stop ignoring your husband’s addiction
Women are afraid of abandoning a man who drinks alcohol, at least to lose this, but they turn a blind eye to the support of the family and addiction to alcohol. It is too late to realize the seriousness of the consequences. The process of drunkenness became protracted, and his wife and children were attacked.
The systematic use of small-dose alcoholic beverages or low-alcoholic beverages such as beer is worrying. Relaxing after a hard day's work is not a reason to drink. Pay more attention to the second half.
Stop forgiving
Forgive her husband every time he gets drunk, and courtship during a hangover, the spouse strengthens his confidence in correct behavior. Express your dissatisfaction to your husband. I'm drunk, don't let me near the marriage bed. Fall on the threshold and let him sleep there. Don't indulge when you have a hangover.
Use actions to show that you do not accept a spouse in this state. The resulting shame will have a positive effect.
Quit drinking by yourself
Women escape the hardships of family life in the club, relax, and have a few drinks with their girlfriends. They went home with strong alcoholism. This is the reason for the husband to get drunk in return.
If a woman allows herself to have the same weakness, it will not work to discourage her spouse from drinking. Only by completely rejecting all narcotics can we help alcoholic husbands to stop drinking.
Create favorable conditions for sobriety
The husband started drinking strong alcohol and wanted to get rid of the current problem and enter a fictional world.
If a wife starts to pray for her husband’s sobriety, sending him the energy of her love, the food that her soul is ready to throw into it, the husband’s kind and strong bright ideas, then sooner or later the moment when the husband himself refuses will come to alcohol.
Women need to ease the tension at home in order to stimulate the desire for life and persuade men not to drink:
- Show your husband how important he is at home.
- Don't push your partner by pointing out responsibilities or mistakes.

What should I do if my husband is severely alcoholic?
