Born and raised with an alcoholic father, he had a couple beers 2 weeks before he died at 95. He was happy that I had a beer with him. Sad he Never had a clear mind about life, but his fogged life from alcohol.
I attended many AA meetings and other off shoots of AA to get a grasp of my life all this alcohol.. And to hear stories of those who FINALLY cured themselves, they were able to stop and it took a lot of work but they did it. Then there is sugar, food, shopping, gambling addictions, they are there. I truly believe I was spared many of them, but now realize what my addiction was and it was Needing a man in my life for decades...one marriage and lots of bf's....but no harm done and I had fun...so it was not the worst addiction one can have. Perhaps this was all because my father was NEVER there for me, a father caring figure was missing. He was not a bad man, just addicted to what controlled him... My mom had no addiction issues, so I believe I'm a lot of who she was. Talking to another person about this issue, it all came to me I believe.... Peace and Healing!! |
