Question by ashley dw: If an alcoholic member of the family doesn’t undergo alcoholism treatment, how will it affect the entire famil
I am just a casual drinker. However, every time I go home late, even if I’ve only drunk a small amount of tequila, my dad would already recite what seem to be an endless litany of sermons. As I am browsing the net today, I just want to ponder on the things my dad always says. His words motivate me to post this question.

Alcoholism does definitely affect the whole family in a direct and an indirect way too.
An alcoholic is depending on alcohol to cope or get through each and everyday.
Alcohol changes your personality.
It also shuts people and things out and therefore shuts your family out.
It can also damage kidneys and liver and an alcoholic may have to spend a lot of time in hospital.
Alcoholism is a really serious addiction and can kill you too so then your family would be so very sad.

I hope I haven’t just given you another sermon. Good Luck
