Alcoholism is a treat to humankind and the human mind. Talks bout Alcoholism and addictions to intoxicants need to have a bigger platform.
I am not only talking about the junkies and the hardcore addicts. Intoxicants serve as a escape and a buffer to so many people.
You see every day in every walk of life. You might think they look normal, act normal but their default mode is being intoxicated from the moment they wake up till the end of the day when they fall asleep.
I, myself quit drinking many years ago. I spent 3 months in a meditation center and after that I was done.
It’s hard to remember because it was such a long time ago but I just did not feel like drinking anymore. And I used to love drinking so much.
It was just so much fun but I think deep down I just could not accept that I needed this to actually be a person that enjoys life.
Those intoxicants give you blind spots to the world you don’t want to face but the problem is you can’t stay too long without having to face the consequences on your body, on your health, on your relationships, on your work, etc..
Sooner or later, there will be a price to pay. I see women needing to drink in order to have sex. I see young men destroying their lives for they have no hope.
Apathy with guilt is the lowest vibration you can find. It’s lower than fear. It’s lower than depression. At this level there is little, to no energy. You have given up.
You have just settled for what you think is and what is, is made better through intoxicants.
