My dad showing up to drink with me on campus uninvited is why I'm a recovering alcoholic. I never wanted to drink, but the pressures from my _parents_ vastly outweighed that from my peers. Screw them both, tbh. And screw these parents perpetuating that very pain. Oh well, it'll certainly be good for the therapy and addiction treatment industrial complex.

What was your parents' reaction when you quit drinking?

Congrats on being in recovery. 400+ days myself. Also drank a lot in college but didn't have parents pressuring me. They looked the other way.
