Those affected by alcoholism have a compulsion to drink and this unyielding need can take over one’s life. The affects of alcoholism can be as tremendous as destroying financial stability, losing family confidence and worse. Alcoholism may lurk in the background as he or she manages to hold down the essentials; jobs, family and prospects.
If some or all of these characteristics affect your loved one, he or she may be an alcoholic:
Feeling a need or compulsion to drink alone or in secret
Cannot limit the amount of alcohol consumed
Losing interest in enjoyable activities and hobbies
Blacking out or forgetting conversations and appointments
Making a ritual of the time, scene, etc. of where he or she drinks and becoming irritated if this ritual is disturbed.
Feeling guilty about drinking or feeling they should limit drinking.
Developing problems with relationship, financial obligations, work or the law
Becoming tolerant to the effects of alcohol, drinking more to feel the effects
Experiencing nausea, sweating or shaking if he or she does not drink
When a loved one’s life begins to unravel with one or more signs of an untreated addiction to alcohol, an intervention is the fastest, most effective way to address the problem and begin the healing process for all.

Assistance in Recovery’s alcohol abuse interventions focus on how alcoholism affects the entire family and provides the tools to adequately deal with the situation. Interventions establish healthy boundaries and restore order in lives while urging the alcoholic to accept treatment or face the consequences of their actions without the family remaining involved.
“Everything was centered around trying to save the addict. I kept saying, what else do you have on your calendar except doom and destruction and prison. Families don’t know what they’re doing. Having a professionally designed intervention is a completely different experience. It gave me this loving courage that I hadn’t be able to find to say ‘We’re standing up against your disease‘” Watch complete story…
