CORDEIRO, Ketlen Patrycia Alves et al. Alcoholism: impacts on family life. SMAD, Rev. Eletrônica Saúde Mental Álcool Drog. (Ed. port.) [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.1, pp.84-91. ISSN 1806-6976. https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1806-6976.smad.2021.168374.
OBJECTIVE: identify the problems caused by excessive alcohol consumption, as well as the consequences it brings to the family. METHOD: the instrument used was a semi-structured interview, with a script composed of 12 questions prepared by the researchers themselves, to answer the proposed themes. For the analysis of the interviews, Content Analysis was used and, as an analysis tool, the NVivo11 software was used, aimed at processing data in qualitative research. RESULTS: during the treatment of the interviews, a categorical tree was elaborated, which presents alcohol as the nucleus, and four categorical knots as main aspects of the interview, being them: beginning of the use; consequences for the family; problems by excessive consumption and help. CONCLUSION: the negative consequences that the excessive use of alcohol generates for family relationships can be inferred, and this is the axis of the life of a more devastated alcoholic. In addition, it is important to point out that the same destroyed family axis is the basis for the resumption of a change as a support for the search for help from competent entities, such as the Alcoholics Anonymous.
