alcoholism/personality traits inherited?
I come from a long line of alcohoics, and developed the problem myself as well. My mom had her bout with it, quit long before i was born, my natural father (who i rarely was around untill i was 4) was an extreme alcoholoic , but i was only around him a couple of times while he was drinking, but i was so young, i barely remember it. While growing up my mom and my stepdad rarely drank my mom had a a problem, but she quit long before i was born.. though my stepdad was very strict, i was never exposed to any violence, or any problems of any kind. I had a very fortunate childhood, but started drinking at 14 and was an alcoholic from that first sip, i just know it.
My mom has told me several times while growing up that i have alot of my natural fathers personality, even though i was never around him, and i find this so interesting.
so my question is do you think that it is possible to inherit these traits from birth?
