Me too ~ I drank to hide from the pain. I drank to stop the anxiety and panic. I drank for all sorts of reasons. I drank because I was an alcoholic.
I came from parents who were alcoholics. My grandfather got me drunk for the first time at 2 1/2. I liked it. I kept begging him for more. I must have been an alcoholic then! 
Many of us come from dysfunctional families and are dysfunctional ourselves. If we can first admit we have a problem, we're on the way to fixing the dysfunction in ourselves and becoming a more functional and sober member of society.
