I know that if I ever started drinking, I'd have a very difficult time stopping. I'm glad I never cared for the taste, with the rare exception of a few drinks throughout my lifetime.
Neither of my parents abused alcohol; however, my daughter did. We live with the result of her drinking every single day in the form of a beautiful 7 year old little boy who has a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. He has permanent brain damage because of the alcohol that was consumed while his birth mom was pregnant. He's got a 7 year old body, with a 3 to 5 year old brain.

I DO get angry at alcohol. One thing I do with that anger is talk to with people about the effects of drinking while pregnant. It helps me get past that anger and do something productive with it.
Thanks for this!
