There is 1 particular horrible trauma that happened to me that haunts me, every single day. And my Dad was passed out drunk in his recliner & never helped me. There is no excuse for this crap! Then don't have kids! He is passed away & still the memories haunt me. I never once received any apologies for anything. My childhood was a horror show & I left his house at 17 years old & never went back there. He was also so horrible he wouldn't even let me take a clothing dresser when I got my own apartment at 18 years old. He was so nasty screaming at me, I called him on phone, asking if I could take my dresser & a bookshelf I used. He said nope. What a total jerk, not even helping your kid. He had plenty of money in the bank. He would turn into a snarling animal when drunk. Like I said, a horror show. Also I am glad I'm not a horrible alcoholic anymore! 2021 begins Year 4 of my sobriety 🙏🙏

Angry drunks are the hardest. The alcohol damages and retards the frontal area of the brain and can let the anger come out of a person that’s just horrible. When I see that I stay away from the person

Hi! Yes I was reading about how alcohol affects the frontal lobe areas of brain. I wanted to know how alcohol affected my brain. Why oh why did I even get hooked on the trash. I also believe I have brain damage from years of abusing it. I wouldn't eat much, so damage was also caused by no vitamins/minerals, STILL SOBER tho!

THANKS to every member for your kind words of encouragement on my sobriety. I appreciate your comments because Christmas & new years are a time when u can start craving alcohol again. Force of habit to drink heavily during entire holidays. Alcohol is merely a habit to break. A worthless, destructive habit. ADIOS ALCOHOL 👋👋
