Having begun my addiction recovery journey on Nov. 24, 1976, I have enjoyed 40+ years of research into addiction. My main blog, Emotional Sobriety, began in Nov. 2004. I have 10 blogs and a Facebook page also named Emotional Sobriety.

Adult Children of Alcoholics (or any Addiction/Mental Illness)

“Most Adult Children report that they have always felt that they were a “mess” deep down and have protected themselves and others from the embarrassment of seeing or feeling that “mess.” They have felt alone in a crowd or isolated all their lives. They have taken care of others compulsively, but never let others care for them. They have sought out relationships where needs weren’t possible, or intimacy could never be achieved. Children of Alcoholics tend to have caseloads, not friends, and feel that they have to work harder than anyone else—to be more perfect, tougher, or more independent and in control. They feel they must hide the craziness they feel inside, and they must earn the right to have relationships or merely live in the world like everyone else.”
