“Exploring the Impact of Alcohol on a Life: Stories and Reflections”

“Exploring the Impact of Alcohol on a Life: Stories and Reflections”… Life has brought several types of alcohol-related circumstances in my life that have affected who I have become. Both in my childhood and adulthood.

These circumstances started in childhood with a parent. A parent that was a great man but changed once the alcohol entered his system. Which made me decide as a teenager never to be an alcoholic.

It continued differently in the marriage which caused me to learned not to put up with less than I deserve.

G. K. Chesterton said, ” Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.” 

How many times have you watched someone drinking and wondered the same thing?

Are they miserable or happy?

3 Questions for You:

1. How many times have you dealt with emotions being cut off?
2. How did this affect who you have become? 
3. Have you found a better way to cope?

Ringo Starr said, ” That’s all drugs and alcohol do, they cut off your emotions in the end.” 

My opinion and maybe it’s just my opinion from experience but rather it is male or female you can not save them especially if you are their enabler, but you can find ways to support them and You can save yourself. There is nothing wrong with saving yourself and learning to only accept what you deserve.

Life Lessons Learned:

The biggest life lesson learned after all that I have faced is and will always be that I do not live in the past and every day is a new beginning!

Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.”
