She does go to ala-teen and is a teen counsellor herself for others. She is also an honor student, volunteers at the local animal shelter and plays soccer on a travelling soccer team. I do go to Al Anon, although I'm not as into it as many others, I do agree with their philosophy and I also am a sponsor to a few folks.
She goes to open AA meetings with her father and is not afraid to speak her mind and let others know what is bothering her, like so many teenagers do. She has been taught this since her little brother was diagnosed with cancer when she was 5 years old.
Lacy is well aware that Alcoholism can be hereditary and realizes she is at risk, not only from her father, but from members of my extendedfamily, as well as her fathers extended family, who are alcoholics and will not risk becoming an Alcoholic. At least that is where her head is at right now. We all make our own choices and so far her's have been great. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful daughter.
