A Tribute to the Family – Louise C believes “the best thing to do with alcoholics is to gang up on them. Give them no option but to try treatment and to face up to their addiction….Once you face up to it you are half way there.” She tells the story of how it took her husband, father and brother to get her in a car and drive her to a rehab clinic: “it took three men to drop me at the door of Castle Craig. The car doors were locked because they knew I would jump out, even on the motorway.” Now that Louise is running her own business again, and employing 90 people in Scotland, she can laugh about these memories. But for years she was in denial, even though she was destroying her life, her family and her business. “There’s always going to be the fight: denial. But once you get past that and accept that you are an alcoholic, you give in and you are free to understand your illness and get better.” Louise spent 6 weeks in residential rehab treatment at Castle Craig Hospital. She says the family need that time too: “Six weeks is about right for the family to mend a little, before this alcoholic comes back into the bosom of the family.” She stresses the importance of family, friends and colleagues in the crucial period of recovery — after the intensive period in rehab: “to survive after Castle Craig you do need support. You do need understanding emotionally from the people around you.”
