Many people in our community face alcohol addiction and are harmed by the effects. But it hits a little closer to home when your family is the one with the addiction. Your family may become more distant making it harder for you to stay around the ones you love. It also can make people more abusive. This puts strains on so many families in the modern day society, that many children have to go to therapy for either emotional or physical abuse, or maybe even both. Lastly embarrassment. We get that most of your family embarrasses you, but sometimes the embarrassment might become intolerable. When the constant uncontrollable actions spew out of their mouth they may come to bite you in the butt.
