Croisant,
OK, heres what helped me. we don't drink. It doesn't matter why or what is going on. I learned I don't want to drink, can't drink without destroying my health and my mind. The Beast wants the drink, not me.
there is absolutely NO GOOD THING to come from drinking. Nothing. Pouring alcohol into my body will only set off the chain reaction which will take me straight to despair, hopelessness and PAIN.
alcohol is NEVER the answer. When there are stressful and tense situations going on, I cannot disable myself. I need to have my site about me to solve the issues and cope in a healthy manner. Other people need me sober. I am only a burden when I'm not sober and cannot attend to what needs to br done.
Also, and finally....for me....drinking is a DEATH matter for me. So, when you say Life and Death.....I choose Life. as complex as it is sometimes.
I hope this helps. alcohol NEVER works
NEVER
Love from Lenina
