Alcohol effects the physiology of the brain. It changes the way it works. That's science, plain and simple.
It's just that the more I think about it, the more I can say with confidence that I could never act that way again. I feel like I have gained an awareness of right and wrong, and an appreciation of the beauty of life, and these things just aren't compatible with alcohol abuse
I feel the same way GFC. The only difference is that the beauty and freedom I have experienced is not compatible with alcohol
use. Period.
Good grief, I feel like what I'm describing amounts to a sort of spiritual awakening, so maybe it doesn't even belong in this forum anymore. LOL! But maybe it is, I don't know.
LOL awakenings don't offend me, but I'm a Bob Marleyish "emancipate-yourself-from-mental-slavery" kinda girl...
