My Parents were Alcoholic, both of them. I could have gone to AlAnon to help me with them. That makes me an Adult Child of Alcoholics and i could have hit that group as well. I sure needed help with my issues they caused with their problem. I married a Drug Addict and it had my life turned upside down most of the time. I could have used a Naranon program to help deal with this. These people messed up my life, right?
No matter how you slice it, I'm an Alcoholic just as you said you were. Guess which program I'm in.
