I grew up in a very abusive household & my father was also an alcoholic. I am the youngest of three I myself have suffered with a long term alcohol addiction, I thought there was no way out, it was just one big cycle. I have now overcome my addiction and I am no longer an alcoholic, if anyone is reading this and needs help and support I seriously recommend this site Healthwise Global www.healthwise-global.com which is fantastic for helping manage stress, the site does have a special program to help overcome alcohol addiction ( which I used), the man who started the site was himself and alcoholic. I hope it helps any one who is reading this article.

I am a daughter of a father alcoholic but I read this post with great interest and sadness. I can really see how, insidiously, women alcoholics *could* be more likely to hurt others. Very sad. Thank you for being unafraid to confront this.

this is an excellent post. I am a recovering alcoholic, my mother is an alcoholic. Anyone who thinks their mother, sister, friend may have a drinking problem should read this post.

Powerful blog. I appreciated reading this.
