Suzie grew up with an alcoholic father and grandparents, felt different from other kids at an early age and started drinking at around 14-16 years old with her school friends. She sought out other friends who drank, married an alcoholic and continued drinking alcoholically over the next 45 years.
Suzie’s drinking continued after her daughter was born and interfered with her parenting. She finally realized that she needed to get sober whilst looking after her first grandchild as she didn’t want to be the drunk grandma.
Suzie had been to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for a short while many years earlier but didn’t relate and didn’t really think that her life was unmanageable. She eventually came back to AA, has been sober for the last five years and is now living a full, happy and independent life.
If you think that alcohol may be a problem, then Alcoholics Anonymous could help you. Give them a call on 1300 222 222 or see their website aa.org.au.
