Choices
As I try to process through what just happened. I can only think about the choices people make.
I saw my dad today and I asked him something I never have. Have you ever thought about quitting drinking?
He said no and then he said something I wont forget. "If I do it will be my own choice."
It's like the weirdest wake up call to me.
but I said "I understand dad but if you ever do choose to quite I would support you 100%."
Just that statement that he would quit when he chooses to... that sort of hit the nail on the head didn't it? That he choose to drink and continues to choose to drink. Sure it's not all his fault he had a genitic predisposition to it. So I understand he can't or wont quite, that it was and is his choice. And I sort of resolve myself of the moment I saw him slipping down that road to relapse. I was too young and not educated enough to be able to say anything then. But I am now, and I told him one thing I hope he thinks about. I told him the best thing he has ever done for me was be sober.
