FACTS ON ALCOHOLISM

Check these out, too...

Research shows children of alcoholics are about four times more likely to develop alcohol problems than others. But alcoholism isn't determined only by genes. Half of all children of alcoholics do not become alcoholics.

Sadly, alcoholism is an enormous problem in the United States. More than half of all adults have a family history of alcoholism. And one out of three kids lives with a parent who is alcohol- or drug-dependent. Aside from risks such as blacking out or being injured from falls, research shows alcoholism increases chances of heart disease, liver cirrhosis, depression, brain damage, cancer, stroke and suicide. Nearly half of all fatal car accidents are alcohol-related.

Alcoholism usually cannot be controlled by willpower alone. There is no known cure, but it can be treated. Treatment often consists of detoxification, prescription medications and counseling. Regular attendance to Alcoholics Anonymous (alcoholics-anonymous.org) meetings can be highly successful.

Hey girlie,

I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. Alchoholism is really scary. Have you talked to your Mom about this? Try to get a hold of your dad and send him to an AA meeting and see what else your Mom suggests!

MOD
My family has gone thru this. But he has gotten help and has been sober for 8 months now!

but its still really hard to talk about... I used to cry alot, but now its only when I have to talk about it. After alot of thinking, I am seriously considering not drinking even when I get old enough. It just seems like my way of, i don't know, speaking out against alcohol and the way its influenced my family. Does that sound stupid?

Hey girl, no that's not stupid at all! A lot of people decide to make that same choice. I think it really does say a lot. =]

my dad used to make wine and we have over 200 bottles in our basement and no one has drank underage without our parents knowing which is good considering the fact that we have 3 teens in the house
