Does alcoholism run in your family?

My father and grandfather were/are alcoholics. I am too but I'm sober now.

Update:

Hey, thanks for the support on my being sober! It's been a year and 3 month now.

    Yes, I've been sober 14 years now. And GOOD for you. You are a good person to stay sober. Good Luck.

    Yes it does. My mother and grandmothers on both sides. I am always very careful with alcohol because I've seen first hand what it can do to you.

    I am so, so glad you're sober. Congratulations! It can completely wreck your life. My parents missed divorce by an inch. Fortunately my mother became sober and they were able to get their marriage back on track.

    Source(s): Grew up with one. We were all so thankful the day my mother stopped and finally managed to stay that way. She has been sober for many years now.

    Yes, both my grandfathers and my father as well. I'm not much of a gambler, so I avoid temptation and don't drink.

    Thankfully no, but most of my family enjoy a drink, but no-one is an alcoholic.

  • Yes, on my father's side of the family. They can't seem to let go of liquor. Then they get out of control.
