Choosing our “Friends” is critical. Many children from
alcoholic families suffer from low self-esteem. We get it
from the anger and abuse that occurs in our dysfunctional
family relationship. The sad thing is that it’s often
passed on unknowingly from generation to generation
creating a legacy of dysfunction.
Growing up in these dysfunctional families,individuals grow
up and leave looking for new friends. They are looking in
fact for acceptance. In their own minds, often they feel
unacceptable for the shame and guilt placed on them by
others around them who should love them the most. Their
parents are often the ones who suffer from the greatest
denial. It’s not entirely their fault however for as we
look closer we see that the disease was all there
generations before.
So we have generations of addicts and alcoholics creating
generations of addicts and alcoholics.
The solution to all mental illness is therapy and since
most of us have little resource as we come into the
program. The rooms of recovery are where we belong. They
are literally free love. In this way, over time, we can
understand the cunning baffeling aspects of the disease. In
this way millions of us have found a wonderful new way of
living that works.. You can too!
I guess the moral to this story is wait, or if you like
STAY!, for YOUR miracle before you decide get someone else
involved. Don't pass on the dysfunction. Correct it in you
and it will be corrected for generations to come. You are
the door to recovery in your family. Let us love you until
you can love yourself. In this way real true love can be
yours for a life beyond your wildest dreams.
