The Best Grandma
Breaking an addiction can be extremely difficult. Despite the odds, some people are able to break their addictions, but a rough wake-up call has to happen first. That’s how it went for this person’s grandmother. She had a really bad drinking problem that was affecting her family relationships and personal health. When our storyteller was born, their grandma received an ultimatum from their mom.
Their mom told their grandma that she would not be allowed to see the baby unless she sobered up. Realizing that her addiction was jeopardizing her relationship with her new grandbaby, she took the plunge and quit alcohol cold-turkey. Thankfully, she was able to quit for good and ended up being an amazing grandmother. Their grandmother later confessed that they were the reason she changed her life.
