Treatment for a Winaholic:
Get some help for control issues.
Seriously. It's important to look at your stuff and how it is affecting your family.
In spite of your great desire to support your kids, they are more likely to dropout
youth sports because of YOUR behavior. And of course you won't feel it is
because of you. Due to your denial and minimizing, it can't be you...
Many Celebrate Recovery's have groups for this.
This is often known as codependency.
Purposely miss a game every now and then
This communicates to your child that their performance is not crucial to your
families well-being and how you feel about them. The side benefit is that your
kids actually might have to talk to you and to tell you about the game. Some of you
have a hard time not wanting to be at every game, but this is therapeutic for the
winaholic.
Listen to others around you.
Your spouse may have been telling you this for years! They may have even sent
you this link. It's time to stop and listen, and then act differently.
24 hour rule.
Don't talk to your child about the game they just played for 24 hours.
Don't infest your kids with your bad behavior. They know. They really do.
They can feel your frustration and anger about their performance. Give it a rest.
Waiting 24 hours will help you get some perspective before you feel the "need"
to voice your opinion. If you are really "concerned" for your kids it's time to
start acting like it!
