Questions I keep asking myself: do I tell my friend? Do I try and found out if we did more than kiss? Will I be able to live with myself?
Alcoholism in the binge-drinking sense, is something that runs prevalent in my family. My parents met in AA-they have both been sober for over 30 years. My mother and father both had problems in their twenties with "blacking out" such as I have struggled with for the past 6-7 years as I have with drinking. Looking back on the past few years, any problem, any situation, and argument I have had is almost always traced back to booze. What happened on Friday is the straw that broke the camel's back.
I am 25 years old, I have been a teacher for 3 years, and I am a great listener and reliable friend. The person that made those decisions the other night is by far not who I am. The only thing I want to do is to make things better but all I feel is lost and helpless.
