I have two uncles on my Dad's side who are alcoholics and two uncles on my Mom's side who are drug addicts. My parents both abuse food (stress eaters) and my two older brothers, after dabbling in the whole drug spectrum, finally settled on their DOC, weed, which they both smoke several times a day. I abuse food (stress eater who in the last two years has also started occasionally purging) and I am a codependent, leading me to become addicted to the men I end up in toxic relationships with. My last two relationships were with drug addicts/alcoholics. The first guy smoked weed several times a day and drank, the most recent guy is addicted to cocaine, weed and alcohol. The best part about all of this? Even though the demise of the last relationship did a number on me which I'm still trying to recover from, it finally (THANKFULLY!!) at age 37, led me to get help for MYSELF, through private counseling and here with you great people on SR!
