Hello @olivia22819,

I appreciated your comments about how you handle alcohol and the holiday seasons. It sounds as if you have made peace with your family history of alcoholism and made good choices for your own family!

Has your family ever challenged your non-alcohol lifestyle?

Yes, i don't keep alcohol in my home at all. One of the reasons is because I don't want for it to be tempting to my mom. I do have family that have attempted to go to the store and buy it for her. When I caught this and stopped it, she wasn't happy but I am clear with my discison. I grew up in an alcholic environment witnessing verbal and physical abuse, being homeless, displaced and missed a lot of education due to the lack of stability. I carried a lot of weight, along with my younger sister, so therefore I am very serious about no alcohol.
