Were either of your parents alcoholics? Were you raised by an alcoholic? Do you have things wrong with you and you think “I’m such a freak”?

Read. This. Book.

You’re not alone.

My best friend recommended this book to me when I was at a really low point in my life. I was freaking out over things, and every time I said something she would go “Dude, me too.” It turns out that a lot of those weird little things - that inability not to lie about inconsequential stuff, that difficulty with admitting you’re not okay – are common in adult children of alcoholics. Really common.

Common enough that there’s an entire book addressing how common they are.

Read this book, and remember that you’re not alone.
