Congratulations Boom and what a gift to yourself and your children you are giving. I grew up around alcohol and drinking and it being common to have a drunken fest for every occasion. I also had blackouts from the get go and didn't think much of it. When that is your norm you know no different. Part of the reason and I say part of the reason I wanted to clean up my act is because I didn't want my son to grow up thinking you have to have alcohol to celebrate everything. You can actually have fun and not drink. What a concept! LOL! He just turned 7 years old and if all goes well and my pledge is consistent every day, he will grow up without alcohol in the house and will enjoy life in much healthier ways.
