 Alcoholism, Enabling And Alcohol Relapse, Why Many Recovering Alcohol Dependent Individuals Return To Drinking, And The Main Reason Why Relapses Occur

It is worthy of note to articulate something that family members who have been adversely affected by the signs of alcoholism of another family member clearly do not understand. It seems that by shielding the alcohol dependent person with falsehoods and dishonesty to those outside the family, these well-intentioned family members have in essence created a circumstance that makes it easier for the alcoholic to persist and advance with his or her unsafe, destructive style of life.

To be sure, rather than helping the alcoholic and themselves, these family members have in truth become enablers who have inadvertently helped deteriorate the alcohol dependent individual's drinking problems and increase his or her negative "alcohol signs."

Another one of the key alcohol abuse signs or alcoholism signs involves alcohol relapses. Relapses happen when an alcoholic or chronic alcohol abuser has effectively undergone alcoholism rehabilitation and then returns to drinking a number of weeks or months later. At first thought, this situation seems contradictory to common sense and seems so doubtful that it forces a person to wonder why anyone who has gone through the misery of alcohol addiction can return to drinking a short while after effective and successful alcohol rehabilitation and in turn after attaining sobriety. There are, without a doubt, numerous possible reasons for this.

It should be explained, however that alcohol dependency research that has centered on the enduring outcomes of alcohol dependency has demonstrated-proven that long after the alcoholic has discontinued her or his drinking, fundamental transformations in the way in which the alcohol addicted individual's brain works are still present. As a consequence, all a recovering alcohol dependent individual has to do to involve himself or herself in behaviors that correspond with the changes that have occurred in the brain is to engage in drinking once again.

There are even more reasons why numerous recovering alcohol addicted persons return to drinking a few weeks or a few months after attaining sobriety. In accordance to the alcohol addiction research literature, to make a successful recovery, the alcohol dependent individual needs new ways of responding and thinking in order to deal more successfully with tough alcohol-related situations that will occur.

Situations such as returning to the same alcohol addictive environment or to the same geographic location; interacting once again with friends from the time when the alcohol dependent individual was drinking abusively; or familiar songs, smells, or activities-all of these circumstances can bring forth memories that can set off psychological anxiety or push hot buttons that influence the recovering alcohol dependent individual to engage in abusive drinking once again.

Sadly, all of these situations may not only counteract ongoing alcohol recovery for the alcohol dependent individual but they can also lead to relapse and therefore short-circuit one's sobriety. In an attempt to "protect" the family, alcoholic family members can in point of fact cause unplanned destruction by enabling the negative drinking behavior of the alcoholic.

The substance abuse research literature highlights the fact that most people who effectively complete alcohol therapy experience at least one relapse. Alcohol dependent individuals and their family members need to know this so that they do not get defeated or beleaguered when a relapse takes place.

Luckily, involvement in support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and follow-up counseling and training have resulted in more successful, enduring alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency treatment results, have helped diminish alcohol relapses, and have helped recovering alcohol addicted persons attain long standing sobriety.
