🙏❤️🤗🕊️I quit drinking years ago. I wasn't an alcoholic, but had a sister who was one and it wasn't a pretty sight. I am so glad I gave it up. Not worth the pain it can bring to anyone.🙏❤️🤗🕊️

Yes, true! And TY for sharing!

My Grandmother on my mother's side and my Grandfather were, grew up in the era of this being acceptable and sociable. And my mother's brother was. She used to tell me stories, thank goodness there weren't any horrific ones that I knew of, but it did cause many troubles in the family. My Uncle developed cirrhosis of the liver, and he committed suicide when the pain got so bad for him.

My mom said her dad would come home drunk and pass out on the floor, and as kids they used to climb all over him.

But because of family having problems with it, I never wanted to touch the stuff. Always thought it tasted nasty! (And was promptly called many names for not becoming a drinker by many).

There are also certain sun signs that are prone to being an alcoholic as well! For example Libra is one!

🙏❤️🤗🕊️Thanks for sharing. Yes, when my sister, whom I love very much, she is deceased now, passed away from stage 4 colon cancer 13 years ago. She was drunk around her children a lot, so they grew up around it. I used to watch over them a lot because of all of this. I was very close to my nieces and nephews. I don't live near them anymore and they are much older now. My oldest nephew is 45 now. Crazy. My sister whom I am speaking of was 47 when she died. I was 44 at the time. She had her children very young. She was 15 when she had her oldest son, I was only 12. So I kind of grew up with them in a sense. Always with them and watching over them. I could tell you all some stories from way back, but that might be for another day.🙏❤️🤗🕊️

Can you imagine the bonfire to be had when all this is said and done, to share our pasts, stories, truths, learning, knowledge, and memories???

I bet none of us would be able to sleep for days! It would be all so interesting and I for one would want to soak up as much as I could to learn!

Just amazing!!!

TY for sharing!!!

I have had some friends and heard stories of some horrors with drinking. My heart goes out to anyone who has had to deal with the horror stories, of any kind in their lifetimes! All this healing going on and people are beginning to share much more than they have in the past, not meaning you all since you are already sharing here, but in general. The healing I see in so many of you just tickles my heart! You are ALL Amazing!!!

God Bless the Children and God Bless the People!!! We have endured plenty and this is the time for Healing!!!💛
