Relationship counselling and coaching can help understand the effects alcohol abuse has on relationship happiness.
Alcohol abuse can definitely affect overall marital satisfaction and quality of life. This is according to relationship coach Robert P Chambers from Australian Professional Counselling Services. Many people are very confused regarding who fits the role as an alcoholic.
Most think it’s someone who drinks every day that just is not true.
Relationship Counselling
As a relationship coach and counselor for over 26 years and living with Alcohol Abuse in my own family when I was younger. I consider myself an expert in this area. Relationship counselling can help you understand the significance of managing this situation.
Let’s explain the difference between an Alcoholic and someone who drinks every day.
Alcohol Abuse
First an alcoholic is someone whose behaviour and attitude changes when they are drinking or when the effects of Alcohol are wearing off. They may abuse you, call you names, put you down to make you feel inadequate or small.
You may feel you’re on eggshells around them, your behaviour may change also which affects your work or family. Alcoholics tend to have 2 personalities that’s the trap.
I often get calls from a partner, and they say this –
“There such a lovely person when he or she is not drinking”
Two Personalities
The one who is not drinking is the real person. The alcohol brings out the real person inside the one who thinks too much and hides guilt trips from there past.
A form of Schizophrenia.
Two personalities.
This results in marital distress among spouses suffering from dealing with a partner battling alcohol abuse.
Distress and Anger
Distress and anger are associated with high levels of alcohol or drug abuse in marriage or relationships. Alcohol use can increase negative and hostile communication, and lead to less warmth and unity in a relationship.
In particular, if your partner’s family had a history of alcohol or substance abuse, the patterning can continue. The abuse can go from generation to generation most times up to 4 generations.
As a relationship coach for many years, I have seen this with many couples I have seen.
Consequentially, the problem of living with this person’s addictions will escalate. Therefore, it is necessary to develop high self-esteem and clearly know your values.
Relationship Counselling and Communication
