Why is every major event in life associated with drinking alcohol?
in my world there is no event associated with drinking alcohol any more.
every event is one to celebrate sober now.
What causes it?
very well could be alcoholism, which is treatable.
Why is it so terribly difficult to stop drinking alcohol and to maintain sobriety
theres a difference between those 2. stopping drinking isnt easy. it isnt something that there is some magical mystical potion that automatically creates rainbows and sparkle fartin unicorns. it takes committment, fighting the obsession, and footwork to change.personally it took about 6 months before i made it a full 24 hours without even thinking of a drink.
maintaining sobriety, though, is rather easy. it was a matter of learning how to live life on lifes terms and worth every second of fight i had to put in to not take the next drink.
