Consumption of alcohol or alcoholism has no place in my life anymore. I attend Al-anon, I have a sponsor in the program too. Alcohol does nothing for me. I used to partake of alcohol on rare occasion, maybe once a year, an casual sip at a social function, but alcoholism is prevalent in my family. My dad was an dry alcoholic, his behaviors were atrocious, my youngest son is an alcoholic, but I don't suffer from alcoholism except to say I suffered far too long with members of my own family who are alcoholics, and alcoholism. I won't date or even partner with anyone who is an alcoholic. I won't even date or partner with anyone in recovery.
