Hi. I am new to this online group. I am an alcoholic who has 8 years solid sobriety. I am also the adult child of an alcoholic. I remember the advice and "push" into recovery I got, but my step-father, who has frequent relapses, especially soon after getting the alcohol out of his system. (every 2 weeks) How do I get my mother to take his disease seriously and not be so "accepting" of his behaviors? I'm at a total loss. She won't enforce any of the bottom-lines she's set for him, but she's angry all the time because of the behaviors.

Alcohol consumption can accelerate the aging process of the skin. Alcohol is a diuretic, which means that it causes dehydration in the body and subsequently in the skin, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Alcohol can also damage the skin's collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging and loose skin. Moreover, alcohol consumption can cause inflammation, which can exacerbate skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, and eczema. Therefore, limiting alcohol consumption or avoiding it altogether can help prevent premature aging of the skin and maintain a youthful and healthy complexion.And if you have already encountered problems, then you should consult a doctor and remove all unwanted signs of aging. https://aestheticsbydrg.com/
