A Scary Night

When I was 13, my father started to become an alcoholic. I was not sure what to think. Since it can run in a family, it's a scary thing. I've always been scared that if I get around alcohol, I will drink, but here is my story, and this is why I am not going to drink.

One night my dad went out to get something, alcohol. He got drunk, was intoxicated at the wheel, and nearly got killed. He came home a few hours later and was sitting outside of the garage, and I just went to go see if we had ice cream in the freezer. I saw him. I didn't tell my mom.

A few hours later my mom went out to the garage. There he was, lying on the ground. She came inside nearly in tears and told me to go to my room and lock the doors and that my father was drunk. He came inside the house (my mom was in my room with me at the time). Then hours passed, and he came into my room somehow and apologized, but I left because I was so scared.

I still feel to this very day this has been my fault. But I've realized this is also making me a stronger person by knowing not to drink and it's NOT cool. Now he attends AA meetings.
