Hi, @savana1 - wondering if you would share more about how your upbringing impacted your later addiction? Do you feel that you patterned some of your coping style after your mom's behavior?
@hisgrace6992 - what type of childhood hurts do you feel influenced your addictions to meth and alcohol?
@zeph317 - you mentioned a few addictions you had previously, and for a couple of decades. Do you have times when you feel tempted to go back to any of them?

I was raised in an alcoholic dysfunctional family. Genetics play a major role in my alcoholism. Dysfunctional family affected my behaviors and feelings. I drank because I was an alcoholic at an early age. . I am in a program and I know plenty of alcoholics that were raised in a good family environment. The environment I am sure plays some role, but it does not the primary cause. There is a lot of adult children of alcoholics that are not alcoholics. If in a program ACOA they work on behaviors and feeling which can long term damages from a dysfunctional family.
