I too had an alcoholic father. I swore I'd never be like him. I didn't start abusing alcohol until I was 35.
5 years later I was looking in the mirror one morning and my Dad was staring back at me.
I got sober on my 40th birthday. It was hard and painful and complicated. But I am worth the fight! So are you.
Welcome and best of luck!
