My husband's addiction caused my life to become unmanageable. His DOCs are Oxycontin and marijuana. However, he has abused alcohol and other drugs as well.
I am working on my codependent issues. My father was probably an alcoholic. He was always drinking (and driving with us). However, I haven't spoken to him in around 7 years. At that point, he had given up alcohol. My mother partied a lot while I was growing up. I'm the oldest of three girls, so I am the type of codependent that is super-responsible. My father's side of my family is filled with alcoholics.
I have three wonderful sons who are my joy!
