A member asked:
What are some ways to stay away from alcohol if addiction runs in your family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start by educating: yourself about alcohol addiction. Read EVERYTHING you can get your hands on. Hang out with people who are not alcohol dependent. Practice mental health behaviors--assertiveness, empathy, emotional intelligence. Go to an Al-Anon meeting for education and take a class at adult school.
