I Am the Child of An Alcoholic

My senior year of high school my mom finally gave up the beer. My dad was also a heavy drinker. When he became a type 2 diabetic, he stopped drinking. I look back on my childhood and I often wonder how I lived through it! All the times we went to visit family and my dad drove us home drunk! (Family lived anywhere from 4 blocks to 30 miles away). I did drink for a few years. When I had my 2nd son, I decided not to have alcohol in the house. Since then I have rarely drank. Never have I used my parents drinking as an excuse. Choosing to go back to school to better myself; rising above that drama! If I can do it anyone can!
