      An inciting incident should not be 20 years old, Also a lead character should have a goal.

      Hi IvyEight6,

      I’ll give this a go…

      After being sexually abused his older sister as a child, a man struggles to cope with the abuse by getting addicted to alcohol.

      INTENTION: must get clean?
      OBSTACLE: debilitating alcohol addiction. his demons.
      STAKES: lose his family.

      When his family threaten to leave him, a struggling alcoholic must confront the root of his addiction – the sexual abuse he endured as a child.

      – This is fine but feels like it needs a good strong hook to separate it from dozens of stories like it. You could add the word “incestuous” before sexual abuse?

      When his family threaten to leave him, a struggling alcoholic must confront the root of his addiction – the incestuous sexual abuse he endured as a child.

      Good luck!
