Mindfulness is key.

1
I used to avoid alcohol because addiction runs in my family. Alcoholism killed my sister. But I learned to not fear things and just be aware.

It's a constant struggle.

2
I have an addictive/obsessive personality, and alcoholism runs in my family. I have to be so careful when it comes to alcohol, but I’m also feeling so done with fighting it...

From:
Calgary, Alberta, CA

There's a difference.

3
Alcoholism runs in my family and I drink freely but just to have fun. I NEVEEEEER self medicate with alcohol, I think that's the slippery slope.

From:
London, England, GB

Better safe than sorry.

4
I don’t drink any alcohol because I’m terrified of becoming an alcoholic like my parents.

From:
Somewhere

You can see it in yourself.

5
Every time I have a drink I have multiple days afterward where I want to just keep drinking a lot. I think alcoholism runs in my biological family

From:
Bonadelle Ranchos, California, US

Not happening.

6
Alcoholism runs on both sides of my family and because of that I don't drink. Even if there wasn't I still wouldn't drink. I will also not date someone who drinks.
