[escape artist]

if an alcoholic is an adult child of alcoholics, would al-anon possibly help him resolve his issues from childhood which may be the reason he drinks?

i asked him if he hates himself. he laughed and said no.
i asked him if he loves himself, he said he never thought much about it.
i asked him why he likes to escape so much and he said
to feel better.

I then asked him better than what?
he had no answer.
