As with most of us I have an alcoholic family member. Even though I understand I can't stop this I still struggle with "I should be doing something to help my little brother." So sometimes I go over there. Sometimes the posts resonate with me and sometimes I just see through their active alcoholics b.s. One thread in particular got me. The man's wife had died. He found her on the couch. She had children. That so could have been me. I could have done that to my family. That's exactly where they would have found me. Too think I used to pass out on the couch most nights and pray I wouldn't wake up.
