How I almost lost my mom to alcoholism

Tweet

My mom was a young mother like myself and as she got older in her twenties she did what normal twenty year olds do.......She drank and had little drinking get togethers. Well when i was about eight my mom got sick with pancreatitis and liver problems. The doctors told her she would die if she kept drinking and of course most alcoholics cant just go cold turkey. So she kept drinking, finally she started throwing up blood and was an once away from death. I dont know what it was that made her just wake up one morning and quit. My mom has been sober since i was 10 and im almost 16 now. Im glad she decided to quit because she now has a beautiful grandson named David who will be a year old on the 21st of November and got to see me and my brothers grow up. All i can say about that experience i had is why drink alcohol i mean honestly its stupid. Its like the government is trying to kill us ...what i dont understand is marijuana is illegal but yet we can just basically drink poision atleast marijuana is all natural.
