Alcoholic Parents

2. April 2008 by admin.

Alcoholism is a term with multiple and sometimes conflicting definitions. In common and historic usage, alcoholism refers to any condition that results in the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages despite the health problems and negative social consequences it causes. Medical definitions describe alcoholism as a disease which results in a persistent use of alcohol despite negative consequences. Alcoholism may also refer to a preoccupation with or compulsion toward the consumption of alcohol and/or an impaired ability to recognize the negative effects of excessive alcohol consumption.

So how many have experienced first hand the RESULTS of the FAMILY SECRET of ALCOHOLISM. Many grow up in an environment of alcoholic parents. I remember my step-mother crashing the family car (DUI) and cutting up the furniture the same day after a heavy day of binge drinking. So how many others share this same SECRET?
