Hi.

No these are two separate families. I started a thread "I want to help a friend". That explains the whole story. She's the mom of a 30 year old alcoholic and she drinks BECAUSE HE DRINKS.

Crazy no??

She was sober for 5 days and then she started. She says "I just don't care anymore".

I have no response to that.

But the other family....the one where the guy was dead drunk in front of his house, well, they live around the corner from me., and yes, the whole family does drink (these are the people who lost their son on 9/11).

I guess people will drink for any reason (if they want to drink). They drink to be happy, when they are sad, when it starts to rain, etc.

People just drink.

I don't get it, but then again, alcohol was never my problem. Food was my drug of choice. For most of my life.

Thank the lord, I got a handle on that one.


And yeah, I know MANY GRANDPARENTS who raise their grandkids because the moms and dads, drink and drug.

Very sad indeed!!!
