[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 584244, member: 59"] BKS that is a long family history of substance abuse that it is hard to deny the genetic component. My ftaher is an alcoholic as was his father. My daughter is an alcoholic, as was her birthmother. Neither my husband or I or my other daughter drinks very much at all and alcohol has never bee a problem for us, we adopted her and she is following in her birthmother's footsteps without ever knowing anythng about her. But you are right, that does not give him an excuse since if you believe it is a disease just as diabetes then it is up to him to manage his life accordingly. If only it were that simple right? Addiction is a cunning, baffling and powerful disease. I don't bame youfor being angry and tired of being lied to and stolen from. That was why we finally had to tell our daughter she had to find other living arrangement. We just couldn't live like prisoners with our money under our pillow and one eye open all night. And I so get your despair over the cycle of recovery, relapse, recovery, relapse. If it were not for my support group I may have gone mad but at least now I know I am not alone. Vent away. [/QUOTE]
