Welcome Lex!
It is great to have you here.
I also grew up with an alcoholic mother.
She quit drinking when I was 21 (after I moved out) but never spoke about it.
I turned into my mother
I am an alcoholic.
I have been sober now for 11 months and I work a diligent recovery program.
One of the biggest issues I have as an ACA (adult child of alcoholic) is the secrets. So today I am honest and vocal about my experience, as I try to work through all my issues.
