Caroline Kagia grew up in a warm and sheltered home. Then she was exposed to a world she'd never seen, where smoked and drank and she was lured into it. Little did she know what she was genetically predisposed to alcoholism. She shares her story of sinking into it, the effect on her and her family and a father who refused to give up on her and changed her destiny.

When I got pregnant,My father who was a no nonsense guy really supported me.he told me that it was no big deal,he took me to college,he loved me and my daughter,he never gave up and told even my mother not to stress me...today he rests in peace but I still remember him that at the worst of my mistakes and in all my confusion and mess he loved me...today my daughter is 14.if it was not for my dad, I would probably have given up on life

My behaviour and anxiety have predisposed me to habitual drinking. It has affected my Education, work and family relations. I have a story whose ending is yet to be determined. Thank you for your story about alcoholism. It really resonates to my status quo issue and inspires the inevitability that is change. Engage is a good initiative. BLESS y'all

@EngageTalk Год назад

Bless you too. You have the power to write the ending you desire.

I am so moved and touched by her story, she an amazing orator and has come from a dark place. I know of people similarly affected where I've witnessed beauty and potential erased over the years through the scourge of excess alcohol. Non judgemental support and friendship goes a long way to helping those affected.
