At Ranch Creek Recovery, we often remind families: “Addiction is a family disease.” Just ask the wives, husbands, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, neighbors, bosses, teachers and many more how alcoholism has impacted their lives and their family.
But it’s also true that the person drinking is not trying to destroy their family. Most of the time, they’re caught between shame and craving, torn between the love they feel for their family and the grip of alcohol.
This two-way perspective is essential. Healing requires both sides to understand each other — and to learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust.

Family members often describe life with a loved one who struggles with alcohol like this:
Alcohol addiction destabilizes families through:
Loved ones often swing between anger, fear, and helplessness. They want to help, but they don’t know how.
From a Jungian lens, the “shadow” of addiction often holds unacknowledged pain: trauma, grief, insecurity. Alcohol numbs that shadow, but it also silences authentic connection with loved ones.
Families often ask us, “What should I say? What if I make it worse?” The key is to approach with honesty, compassion, and boundaries — not blam
Scripts won’t solve everything, but they can open the door to honesty — which is often the hardest step.
This is where treatment makes a difference. At Ranch Creek Recovery, family therapy is built into our programs because we know recovery isn’t just about the individual.
With only six clients at a time in our Murrieta program, we can devote time to family sessions that are truly personalized. Families often leave saying, “For the first time, I feel like we understand each other.”
Alcohol addiction isolates, but recovery reconnects. We’ve seen spouses reconcile, children regain trust in parents, and families learn to laugh together again.
If alcohol is dividing your family, the most powerful act may be starting the conversation — and seeking help together.
