Paper Doll Gradulations on your sobriety That is awsome! Everyone was so wonderful in sharing. I thought I should. My Grandfather was an alcoholic. It was so bad my grandmother finally left after he shot at my cousin. Missing her head by mere inches. My other cousin became a drug abuser. My father drinks excessively, I would consider him an alcoholic. My sister can not go a single day without a drink, and blames my father & family saying it is not her fault it is "DNA" which of course for her absolves her of any resposablity for her behaviour. I have 2 children and one has had problems with binge drinking. I took him to therapy & to AA. And I pray that he will hear me when I say, the only way to not become addicted is to never drink. In the end though I know it is his choice. God Bless! & Keep sharing! Everyone is wonderful here.
