Question by SevasTra: Can alcoholism be inherited even if you don’t drink?
My dad is a severe alcoholic. It eventually got so bad that he abandoned my family just so he could drink. I have been drunk once in my life, and since learning that alcoholism can be inherited, I haven’t touched alcohol. But lately, all I want to do is get really wasted. I think about it often and I’ve almost gone through with it twice. Since I haven’t touched alcohol in over two years, I’m pretty sure that I didn’t start an addiction to it on my own. So, can alcoholism still be inherited if you don’t drink?

THIS TO BE PERIODS OF DRUNKENESS IN LONG TERM ALCOHOLICS EVEN WHEN THEY HAD NOT BEEN DRINKING AT ALL THAT DAY. iS THIS RIGHT OR WRONG?

So my 23 yr old son and I had an agreement. I pay 3000 on his bills if he goes to and stays in college, does not do any drugs or alcohol, continues with 1 hour a month counseling until the counselor releases him. Yesterday he said he won’t go to counseling anymore because he doesn’t think he needs it but he was not released by the counselor. I went alone and the counselor said then he broke the agreement and not to pay. My son did start college, went 3 days and quit saying hes going to look for a job because he just found out his girlfriend is pregnant (yesterday). I have bailed my son out many times over the years and gone through a lot with him. So the counseling is a big thing to me. My son treats me nice when he needs to ask for something but then after that hes not very nice to me so I feel unappreciated and uncared for by him. I want to help my son but it seems all the help doesn’t really help. And even though he may seem okay for now, there have been cycles of bad choices and I worry when and if the next will come. He’s mad at me now because I have told him since he’s not going to counseling, I won’t pay the $3000. I offered afterward that we could renegotiate the agreement and he still would have to go to counseling and he said, “Don’t worry about it”.
