Thanks honeypig . I figured that out a little too late . Both my parents passed within the last 3 years . Mom first whilst I was still in the grip of alcohol , Dad while I was 6 months dry . I seen them both get Sober in their late 50's.
Now I look back hoping I could have been Sober for them both
Even with the Hell they put me through ,as a child of alcoholic parents .
Finally after 2 years I forgave them & myself - Life is Good
