What To Do When Your Partner is An Alcoholic

If you’re in a relationship and you get an impression that your partner is an

alcoholic, it will definitely cause you some distress. Whether you believe or not,

your partner’s addiction habits must have created ruffles between you both.

There is always a chance of some negative results in his or her life due to

Alcoholic behaviour.

So what to do when you are concerned?

You can have a straight conversation with your partner and let him know about

what you feel. Tell him what you’ve observed during his drinking patterns and/or

behavior. It’s very important that you do this in a non-judgmental way. If you

come at him annoyed or angry, he will definitely reply with anger. Don’t be

amazed if he tells you that he’s got everything under control because he could

very well be in denial.

What if he is in denial?

It’s hard to be with an alcoholic when they cannot realize that they are an

alcoholic. It may take some time for your partner to understand and admit that he

has a addiction problem. Some people usually wait it out for quite some time to

see if he will reach out for assistance at some point and others end up breaking

up. There’s no such right or wrong answer here. It totally depends upon the

situation and few other factors as well.

Other things you can do

It’s always a great idea to talk to your partner about attending a 12 Step meeting

with him and offering to go with him. You may also include that there are

rehabilitation centers and counselors available should they want to stop drinking.

Some alcoholics actually want to quit, but they require proper guidance to get

help. If you at least make them aware of their options, when they are ready they

can easily decide what route to go.
