No, Steamvessel I came from a family where there was only the occasional Christmas or New Years toast. I too was very disciplined and had no pull toward drinking. I had a very serious, lifelong, injury and I was not aware of the slippery slope I was on. I had never had any problem with addiction in the past nor had any member of my family so why would I think I would now. It started with prescription drugs and ended up with alcohol. So, no, I know this was not a course I was bound to take. It was one I let myself get into ALL ON MY OWN!!! It is one I will have to get out of on my own to! My family has never dealt with such things and I am glad they haven't. Just kinda stinks for me cuzz I don't have anyone close to talk to about it with.
