As we hear that alcohol-specific deaths in Scotland have reached a 15-year high (& alcohol-related deaths are many, many times higher), families share their heart-breaking stories of Love and Loss. If this a 'Public Health Emergency', where on earth is the emergency response?😭

@Familyinhope It’s all about the 3 C”s … I didnt cause it , I won’t control it and I can’t cure it

You are never responsible for a parent’s drinking, even if they tell you otherwise. Remember 💙 I didn’t cause it I can’t control it I can’t cure it I can take care of myself I can communicate my feelings I can make healthy choices Jen ✒️ nacoa.org.uk/experiences/li…

Children affected by their parent’s drinking saw the last government cut all dedicated support and public health strategy. The election week and #AlcoholAwarenessWeek. All we know is that something needs to change! 🧵 @CalumBest @JohnTaylorAuth1
