Summary
📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube If you grew up with a parent who struggled with alcohol, you may have made yourself a promise: "I'll never become like them." You remember what their drinking did to your family. The unpredictability. The arguments. The embarrassment. The disappointment. Maybe you promised yourself that when you became a parent, things would be different. But what if, somewhere along the way, alcohol started playing a bigger role in your own life than you ever intended? And what if your children — or even your grandchildren — are now watching some of the same behaviors you once watched? This episode isn't about blaming your parents or shaming yourself. It's an invitation to look honestly at the patterns that can travel through generations — and recognize that you have the opportunity to stop them. Because your children are learning from what you model. And one of the greatest examples you can give them is showing them that a family pattern doesn't have to become a family legacy. If you recognize yourself in this episode, perhaps this is your opportunity to become the person who finally breaks the cycle. Want to speak to a real human being at AFL?
