Hi everyone
My name is Paul and I am 20 years old and from Australia. I am so glad I
found this group, I now have something to turn to.
My mother has been an alcoholic for the last three years. When it first
began she tried taking her life four times, two being overdoses on sleeping
pills, the third slashing her wrists, and forth time walking out into on
coming traffic. All aided by alcohol. This was all happening when I was
17-18 and in my final years of high school. Thought times they were. Two
years later on she is still drinking and we continue to have fights. Her
father died of a heart attack due to excessive drinking, my aunty has lost
her entire family because of it, so I don't understand why when she is
sober, and takes that first sip she doesn't see this. I am glad now I can
speak- I can voice my inner feelings.
Hope to hear all your stories and experiences too.
Paul
