I read an article recently that said kids who grow up in alcoholic households are traumatized as much or more than a soldier in active combat.
i've never been in active combat but my sh*t started around 7yo. scared is scared.
so the distinguished looking gentleman sitting next to me talks and we all get the same feelings because it's all of our stories. he's in his 70s. that's right, we don't graduate.
we are acoa, walking wounded but we have no fancy diagnosis. our diagnosis is pain. it's spelled ptsd.

my friend says let the past go so i say a prayer. god this probably nice but could you put my friend in my house for a year in 1964. no, that's not nice...i love it.
in an instant the year is over and my friend and i are talking. yeah, i'm bipolar I. Too bad i'm acoa. oh that's that place where grownups are still bitching about mummy and daddy?
my friend says, if you only knew.

after a meeting we all are standing outside, smoking-talking. I later found out that my new friend is an army general. i wouldn't have the self-esteem to talk to someone like that.
iced tea..so Phil tell me your story. His veneer starts to crack, so does mine. we were so similar. Phil I'm going to share my story tomorrow night at lubys on northloop. I had seen many people speak there. and said i'd be there.
hello, my name is chris. i'm an adult child of an alcoholic and if i may, i'd like to share my story.
