ok, so my dad is an alchoholic, and it really sucks, he doesn’t really get drunk, but he’s always drinking at night, my parents are divorced, and i mostly only go to his house on the weekends, but it always smells horrible and hes never really “with it” when he’s home, it has been getting a little better, and he is going to aa now, but he still keeps the beer around the house, which disgusts me to see and smell the empty beer cans, but the thing that really gets me is that my brother and sister go to parties and drink and stuff, my sister just now turned 21, so now she can legally drink but i know she drank before her 21st birthday, as a lot of high schoolers do, i never drink, even if i’m at a party that has beer and stuff at it, growing up with an alcoholic dad who has never been very dependable has shown me what beer and alcohol can do to you, even if you don’t become an alcoholic, plus i don’t wanna take the chance of becoming an alcoholic and screwing up my life and the lives of the people around me, like my dad tends to screw up his life and the rest of the family’s lives
