Winton, I have thought of that myself as alcoholism is prevalent in all families where my children are involved. Here is how I look at it.
If they should ever have an issue there will be at least one person in the family who is working a program and knows how to deal with addiction. I can be there for my kids but they are just like me and everyone else they're going to make their own decisions and make their own choices in life. I cannot control the decisions that they make or the ones they will make. I can set a good example for them, give them constructive discipline while they're young and give them the best advise I can, after that it is out of my hands.
I will never be able to be there for them should they need me if I'm not well, which is why you really should just focus on yourself. Don't look so far to the future, we can never predict what is going to happen. Take care of you.
