Thank you for telling your story and for the encouragement, and congratulations on staying sober. It was a very emotional story for me to write, and reaching somebody else with this kind of a family history is the best outcome possible.

I often feel like people around me don’t really understand how much these experiences and behavior models can affect you throughout your entire life, so it’s important to share with others who have lived through the same things and can actually help you spot what you’re doing wrong yourself, like your sister did. I think I will check out if ACOA exists here in Argentina as well.

Thank you!
