i will become an alcoholic

my father was an alcoholic.
i hated what it did to him and our family.
i swore i'd never drink because of him.
he died six weeks ago,
and i've drank every weekend since.

the worst part is that i enjoy it,
and i'm afraid i'll become him.

My son's father drank himself to death. He died earlier this year at age 42. My son is 16 and is a recovering alcoholic. His father's death scared the hell out of him. Genetics is NOT Destiny. You have the power of your own choice.

I think your father would want you to make better choices for yourself than he did for himself.

If you are afraid....then don't do it!! God forbid you have kids, cause they'll hate you too and do you want that?! Probley not! So think of them or other people you care about and what you are doing to them before you decide to drink again.
