00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, coping with alcohol addiction in the family.
00:14Living with someone who has alcohol use disorder, AUD, can be challenging.
00:18AUD makes it hard for them to control their drinking,
00:21causing stress and unpredictable behaviors.
00:23Here's what you need to know.
00:251. Effects on the household
00:27Alcohol addiction affects everyone at home,
00:29leading to emotional stress, anxiety, and financial issues.
00:32Your loved one might become irritable or angry,
00:35disrupting family dynamics and making the environment feel unsafe.
00:392. Impact on children
00:40Children with a parent who has AUD may feel stressed and confused by the
00:44parent's mood swings and unreliability, potentially leading to difficulties
00:47in forming relationships and a higher risk of alcohol misuse later in life.
00:513. How to manage life with someone with AUD
00:54Prioritize safety
00:56Ensure the safety of all household members, especially children and pets.
01:00Temporary relocation might be necessary if the situation becomes unsafe.
01:04Control finances
01:05Limit your loved one's access to money to prevent them from buying alcohol.
01:09Avoid enabling
01:10Don't support their addiction by providing money or alcohol, even if it's tough to refuse.
01:15Consider an intervention
01:16Involve family and friends, along with a neutral party like a therapist,
01:19to persuade your loved one to seek help.
01:22Encourage treatment
01:23Look into treatment programs with the help of a doctor to find the best fit for your loved one.
01:284. Supporting a recovering person
01:30Provide support by being present for your loved one and refraining from drinking around them.
01:34Ask them directly how you can assist them, especially in situations involving alcohol.
01:39Be prepared for the possibility of relapse during
01:41their recovery journey and be supportive throughout any setbacks they may face.
01:45Remember, you didn't cause the addiction, and you can't fix it alone.
01:49AUD often needs professional treatment, but your support can make a big difference.
01:53Focus on keeping yourself and your household safe and
01:56healthy while supporting your loved one's recovery journey.
