Synopsis
"I am an adult child of an alcoholic. My childhood and that of my brothers and sister was robbed by a terrible and painful disease nobody ever wanted to talk about."
"I wrote this book for all of us who fell asleep in class, who hid in our closets, who couldn't form friendships, who silently hated ouselves."
"I wrote this book for all of us who were violent when violence was something we hated; all of us who lied, who kept secrets, who blamed ourselves, who made excuses, covered up, created crises, and told stories to protect the terrible reality we lived with."
"The odds are against an entire family recovering from this disease. For our family, it was a long and painful journey. We all paid a huge emotional price, but we each came out of it stronger and better human beings."
"Recently I told my dad I was sorry that he had his disease for thirty-five years but that I wouldn't change one minute of my life if I had it to do over again. All my greatest lessons came out of his disease. I owe my success to it."
