I wish I could hug you all! Alcohol is awful and regardless of how many people try to convince me to “go on have a drink” I alway look back at my childhood and remember how my family was destroyed by the evil that this drug has caused. Alcohol is the most acceptable drug in the world and it destroys so many lives. I suffer my own Substance addiction and I blame this on my life as a little child watching my father being horribly abusive to me and my mother. Regardless of what anyone says if you are drinking alcohol even once a week then you have a problem “Guaranteed” and many will say no but it’s true. The only thing you all have in common is that you all realise the damage it is doing to you as a person and if you don’t do anything you will waste the only life you have. To walk away is horrible but a functioning alcoholic is the most dangerous and if they don’t want help then you will never be able to enjoy what life you have. It’s so sad how you all have been affected by someone who drinks but I want you to all know your not alone. Try and focus on you and don’t try to fix them. Stay safe.
