In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re talking about a hard truth: Alcoholism doesn’t just destroy the drinker — it reshapes the entire family system.
Families living with alcoholism often become defined by: • chaos, • secrecy, • denial, • emotional volatility, • and roles that no one ever asked for.
The alcoholic isn’t the only one who gets sick — everyone under that roof learns to survive in a dysfunctional environment.
The Big Book tells us that the alcoholic is “like a tornado roaring through the lives of others.” But what it doesn’t fully explore is the aftermath: the children who become caretakers, the spouses who walk on eggshells, and the family members who lose themselves trying to keep the peace.
Today we’ll unpack the patterns, the pain, and — most importantly — the path toward healing for everyone involved.
