Now they are divoriced and still we are recieving threatening messages from him due to his drinking problem. My mother doesn't drink as much but with that she has a promlem with smoking cigarettes and a soon found out case of marijuana. We used to have a nice big house in Florida, and since all this has happened, we were forced to move out of our lovely house and go to tennessee where we live in a run down tailer where the floor bends to the point it's about to break.

Weh we got there, everyone was drinking and doing drugs, and I joined in. I didn't do enough to not know what I was thinking or to forget what happened, but doing any at all was wrong. When he was driving me home, luckily there was no one else on the road at 2 am because he began driving on the opposite side of the road in the middle of an intersection. I knew he didn't do this intentionally because he jerked his car back over to the right side of the road and shook his head and rubbed his eyes as if he was trying to focus. I could tell he wasn't in his normal state. I was glad when I got home alive. I talked to him a couple months later at school about it and he admitted her was really messed up that night and I couldn've died whil ein the car with him." --

"one time my sister was going through a hard time in her life. She really didn't know any other way to deal with what she was going through (even though she had choices other than drinking that would've helped) so she turned to alchohol. She got a hold of a bottle of vodka and got drunk in her bedroom, which was across the hall from mine at our house. When I went in there to say goodight, she was already drunk and it scared me. She was flipping out, saying stuff I know she didn't mean and then she started crying. She told me that she would never talk to me again if I woke up my parents and told them, but I knew this was dangerous and I didn't like to see her like that, so I told them anyway. I guess my point is that there are better and smarter ways for dealing with hardships you have in your life than resorting to drugs and alchohol. Not only can it hurt you, but also the ones around you, such as people you're close to having to see you go thorugh that. Much like I had to with my sister. I will never forget that night." -- Anonymous
