Replying to doomed to be an alcoholic...
so i went to a party and the bar on wednsday night. I got home about 5:30 that mourning and went to bed. that evening after supper my mom said she wanted to have a talk with me about drinking. I thought this was funny because she had long since realized that telling me drinking is bad or grounding me was futile. So anyway she said she wanted to talk to me about drinking. I said yeah i know already you dont need to tell me. she said no thats not what i wanted to talk to you about. and i quote, ' I dont know if you realize this but you come from a long line of alcoholics'. this shocked me pretty good cause i had no idea what she was talking about. she told me alcoholism was hereditary (which it is partly), and that my fathers side were notorious alcoholics. apparently 1 of my uncles is currently an alcoholic, 1 of my uncles was an alcoholic but hasnt touched a drink in 20 years. another one of my uncles was an alcoholic but hasnt had a drink in 8 years. and my other uncle who i was told was 'sick' and died actually committed suicide because he was an alcoholic and couldnt cope. she asked me if i remembered going to my great aunts hous and her alwasy having a cup of coffee... it was whiskey. so anyway this was a huge shock to me since i had never heard anything about this before. and just to be ironic my dad came home that night piss loaded drunk
(something he doesnt do very often). So am I doomed to become an alcoholic? I always thought of myself as a social drinker.
