@adgccki @AndersLadekarl Ja, desværre, og det kan have seriøse konsekvenser for de pårørende, især børn, der vokser op i familier med alkoholmisbrug. Og de konsekvenser følger dem ofte langt ind i voksenlivet.

@theauthorweek Thank you. Yes, the book draws on my 20+ years of experience working with adult children of alcoholics and substance abuse problems. The book is not about sport, training or bodybuilding. It is about learning how to heal & love yourself despite trauma. #adultchildrenofalcoholics

[Kristina Hermann @HermannPsy]

@theauthorweek Thank you very much. I have put a lot of effort into researching & writing the book. It is a book for adult children of alcoholics or of parents with substance abuse. It is not about the gym, fitness, workout or bodybuilding.

[Kristina Hermann @HermannPsy]

@theauthorweek Thank you. I want to be honest. It will help you gain insight into how a childhood w parents who had alcohol problems may have shaped you. It can help you break free of unhealthy relationships. It will not fix everything & it is not about alcohol violence as such. #ACA #trauma

[Kristina Hermann @HermannPsy]

@theauthorweek Yes, exactly. However, it is not about fitness motivation, bodybuilding, training or workouts. At least not physical workouts. It is about growing up in a family with alcohol or other substance abuse and how you can help yourself to overcome the hardships of such a childhood.

[Kristina Hermann @HermannPsy]

@theauthorweek Thank you again. The book is not about appreciating what you have before it is taken away. It is about healing the trauma that comes w growing up in a family with #substance #abuse problems. It is about taking care of yourself as an #adultchildofalcoholics. #HealingTrauma #ACA

[Kristina Hermann @HermannPsy]

@theauthorweek Thank you very much. The book is not about bodybuilding, fitness, workouts or sport. It is about being raised in an alcoholic family & about healing as an adult child of alcoholics or parents w substance abuse. #adultchildrenofalcholics #alcoholism #alcoholics #ACA #AA #Trauma

Low self-esteem is not part of your personality. You may feel insecure, but remember how much inner strength you have. As an adult you have the ability to re-build your sense of self-esteem.

Growing up with addiction often creates low self-esteem in children. It is NOT your fault. And you are not alone. We develop our self-esteem through our relationships with others, especially our parents and those closest to us.

Holdningen til alkohol har ændret sig markant siden 1970'erne. Men danskerne underrapporterer alligevel deres alkoholindtag ifølge denne undersøgelse lavet af YouGov for Kristeligt Dagblad. https://t.co/7TZ9kW1WxS

Kristeligt Dagblad har i dag en ny serie om alkohol i Danmark. Over halvdelen af danskerne mener, at alkohol fylder for meget i den danske kultur. Det er en vigtigt debat, og vi skal bryde tabuet.

You no longer have to accept the darkness and the downsides as part of your life story. Write out your pain and past trauma. Practice seeing yourself as independent of these episodes. They happened to you, but they are not you. #tellanewstory #adultchildrenofalcoholics

"Another Round" by Danish director Thomas Vinterberg explores how Danes drink. I'm sure the movie with generate a lot of debate. Interview w/English subtitles:

Thomas Vinterbergs nye film "Druk" får premiere d. 24. september 2020 i Danmark. Se interviewet med ham i linket. Mon ikke filmen og dens emne bliver vidt debateret?

@politiken har en serie artikler i dagens avis (lørdag d. 5. september 2020) om aldersgrænse for køb af alkohol. Værd at læse og en virkelig vigtig debat.
