This blog aims to help you cope with living with an alcohol abuser. I know what you are going through because I have lived through this situation myself. So I have set up the "HELP PAGES" on the right to help you cope with an alcohol affected life. Please start with the first page: "Living with an Alcohol Abuser".

WHAT IF I AM A TEENAGER?

Many teens like you are growing up in a home where Mum or Dad is abusing alcohol, and life can be a living Hell.  Some teens react by isolating themselves in their room or by staying at friends' places - they cannot take the crazy stuff that goes on at home.

All of us get affected in different ways, yet we tend to react along similar lines.

There is help available for teens and I suggest that you begin reading the HELP PAGES over on the right - they show how I got help and show you how you can get help too.

If we don't seek help as teenagers, we can grow up with certain behaviours that will cause us problems in the future, especially with relationships with others we may come to love.

So please try and read what is written, it may make a big difference in your life.
