most addicts are all in one way another, they do not know what moderation is. I know a guy that went from a complete alcoholic to a deacon in the catholic church. I don't associate with him anymore, not because he doesn't drink it's because he tries to push his religion on everyone.My dad was a drunken bum of a dad/husband. So was his dad.
Then my dad found Jesus... and turned his life around but proceeded to choose Jesus over his three boys after that.
It's probably a good thing I don't have any sons - at least the curse ends here.
