I hope this does not sound judgmental. I truly understand why people in my family drank heavily, there were so many tragedies/trauma. I have been one of the few to get professional help, one of the "weaker ones," Lol.
There seems to also be a gene or two causing severe alcoholism in all genders of my family members. I am very much afraid of having a genetic predisposition to a form of alcoholism.
