I'm very lucky to not be in a situation where it took ten years or something for me to see the damage I was doing. Some of your stories are baffling the amount of time you have dealt with the addiction process. Drives me even more to succeed. I'm 30 years old. Drank for about 14 years and I don't wanna still be figuring this out when I'm 40. you and your families will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope those of you who are still waiting for the alcoholic in your life to "wake up" can find some peace. And please pray for me.
I will say that as a family member, it was hard for me to wrap my mind around how we both faced the same problem (alcohol) but our solutions were very, very different. Just like during active addiction, we often spoke 2 different languages in early recovery. You can walk forward together, but your paths are not the same & that's not a bad thing.
