Thanks, guys. I've been working very hard not to enable them but sometimes it's so hard because after all the **** you have to go through on a daily basis you just want to please your family. And they've already been pestering me about where I hid their "souvenir" wines and keep promising me that they won't drink them (I don't believe it for a second because I've been on the very dark path of addiction before and know how desperate a person can get).

Unfortunately, I can't move out. I simply don't have the means to. It's unfortunate for my parents, too, because they've tried to disown me since I was thirteen or fourteen (sometime after my first F in school) and have been trying to kick me out ever since. I've been bordering on homelessness for about six years now.

My friends and I are gearing up for this apartment we found which should be ready around December, so hopefully that will give me the courage to move past my depression and work harder to get a job. I applied for a bunch of places again! It took a lot of effort but I did it. We'll see what happens now.

Edited to add that my parents have already received DUI's, which have traumatized them and only furthered their drinking habits. Nearly everyone in my family is like this so they think it's normal to be this way. I would love to join an alanob group, but the only one in my area is for those 18 and under.
