I grew up in a middle class family. House in the suburbs, white picket fence and the whole nine yards. My dad worked in an office and my mom was a stay at home mom. I have an older sister and a younger brother.
I can't explain how or why I became an alcoholic. I never once had alcohol until I was 21 and could legally drink. I stole from my parents, siblings and other family members. I trashed their houses and was drunk all the time. I convinced my grandfather who was starting down the road to dementia to give me money. I couldn't hold a job and ended up homeless. The last straw for everyone was when I did something I will be ashamed of until the day I die. My sister had a stillborn baby. I wanted to go to the funeral to be supportive and my mom made me promise of the grave of my grandmother that I would not drink. I got drunk anyway and I threw up into the casket of her baby son.
She assaulted me and had to be held back and I took off after that. That was the last time I saw or spoke to my family before I got sober. I ended up getting convicted for DUI for the 5th time, only this time instead of getting caught at a checkpoint I hit someone. She almost lost her arm. I am thankful every day that she didn't die. I ended up going to prison for a year and that is where I got sober.
I kept up my sobriety when I got out of prison. I wrote letters of apology to my family members and all the people I hurt. They sent the letters back unopened, they hung up the phone when I called and slammed the door on me when I visited. My sister threatened to kill me and said she doesn't care what I am like now. This includes my extended family, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.
I am determined to make amends and be a better person to make up for the asshole I was for 10 years. I want more than anything to see my family and be back in their lives. But they refuse to see me and I don't know what to do or if I can change their minds.
