Eyes,
I am the daughter of two alcoholics. My deceased dad stopped drinking 20 years ago, my mother is almost 86 and continues to toss em down.
Children of alcoholics/drug addicts have a 50% chance of hooking up with alcoholics/addicts as adults. I did, married two, both deceased, then in my sick head I hooked up with an addict/alcoholic and part time sex addict...a real must miss! My point? I
carried my childhood into adulthood, my bad choices in men were directly related to my
toxic enviorment.
Meetings helped me to get my marbles all back in one bag. Everyone at the meetings I attended were there for the same reason as I was...to get well. I had no shame, I am simply a human being, I have and will continue to make mistakes.
It is not so much the circumstance I am involved in....it's how I handle it.
