In my early days I went home to my parents and I remember they both offered to give up drinking if it would help me.

I think even at that point I knew that my recovery was dependent on what I did, not what other people did.

I hasten to add though, that I had removed myself previously form a toxic alcoholic environment, which is why I was back home.
