Nicole Reardon  Many physicians regard alcoholism as a disease. Like the majority of diseases, it is not only the sufferer who has to live — day in, day out — with the ailment, but also their family. Sarah Park is a recovering alcoholic, and speaks here about growing up on grog, family life and changes that have come about with her newly found sobriety.
