Relationships With Alcoholics
Why do some alcoholics seriously believe there’s nothing wrong with them?
I have to say that if I were an alcoholic (like my father) there is no way I could NOT realize something was wrong. He is an absolute drunk and has been since I was born (25 years ago) but he REFUSES to believe there is anything wrong with him. How can he not realize he’s a raging drunk? He falls asleep in bars, falls asleep in his car, falls off of chairs, forgets everything from the night before, has ruined his relationship with my sister and I and cheated on my mom due to drinking. WTF?
I grew up/ am in the process of growing up like that too.
Simple thing is, let them kill themselves. There’s nothing we can do if they don’t want help.
