Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting my blog. I have been blogging for a few years now, but I have never written a blog that was so personal to me. I am the adult child of an alcoholic(in recovery for 10 1/2 yrs now). I have chosen to write on this topic for several reasons. Reason 1 - As therapy, for myself and for others who will read and hopefully contribute to this blog. Reason 2 - To educate those who have not had to deal with alcoholism of some of the lesser know effects of this disease, and why it truely is a disease. Reason 3 - To inform - for those who are going through this right now there will be resources and articles that are meant to give you resources that may be able to help. Lastly Reason 4 - To allow others into my world(if only a small peice of it). Which is something that children of alcoholics learn at an early age not to do.
