A look at the 20 Questions convinced me I had an alcohol problem. I was also told it was a real Disease that tends to run in families. What really convinced me, though, was that "new" people who came thru the doors of AA over and over. Each time there was more destruction and remorse. Often they were there from a DUI. The possibility of getting a DUI, or worse, hurting someone in the process, made me convinced I did not want to go down that path. I am glad that I kept coming back to AA and sites like SR. Sobriety is about living and I missed out on learning how to live life having come from an Alcoholic home. All holidays were to get drunk. Weekends too. Now I know most homes live a much different lifestyle.
