Sobering thoughts

I started this post and never finished it. I've been thinking about my Dad alot recently. I am trying to stay calm but sometimes it is hard. I've been working through childhood experiences and some of the flashbacks. His little boy voice he would use . . . promising my mom he would never drink again, he was going to leave and never come back, and Alison please don't hit me, and then the eruption . . . he used that same little boy voice with me a couple weeks ago after he came back down after one of his emotional episodes.

My sister said she was at Dad's house getting some pictures and noticed his walk through pantry was fully stocked with alcohol which has not been the case in 26 years . . . My Dad celebrated 26 years of sobriety last August . . .

I know his girlfriend drinks . . . so maybe it is for her and for her family that comes and visits . . .
