Good on you Ican. I don't think anyone has to do anything they don't want to do. Counterproductive, mostly.
Same with telling kids. You can educate kids about the dangers of alcohol and other drugs without going into own personal experience. Little kids don't need it. I talk with my kids now that they are older. So long as we're not drinking now is the most important thing. That's all that little kids want. Older kids too, to be honest.
Onwards, sisas in common struggle.
