Let's just say - my therapist told me I've been through more hell than anyone she's ever known, and that I am a strong person.
Yet I think my "strength" wasn't enough - I became an alcoholic, drinking and drinking to keep me from ever having to deal with things. Yes, I am new here and it might be frowned upon I don't know - but yes, I really do blame my abusive family for my alcoholism.
Not that I dwell on that because it won't help at all, in fact it could screw thing up sobriety-wise if I thought about it. But just wondering, do other people feel the same way? Does everyone think it's something you were born with, or could it be something you did to overcome the pain, that got out of control?
