Many people that drink alcohol can handle them self in a sense that they know when it is time to stop drinking alcohol and then there are those, such as myself, that don't know when enough is enough. When we start out experimenting with drinking alcohol many of us don't realize if we are not careful this fun time drinking can turn into an addiction. Do you know what your addiction is doing to you? I bet not, for the simple reason, this addiction to alcohol has been slowly creeping up on you and now you can't figure out why in the world must you have alcohol every single day of your life. Many of us can not live without this harmful poison in their bodies. We would start to go crazy and feeling on edge, nervous, shaky and the whole nine yards due to the absence of this poison we call alcohol not in your bodies.
Many people live, breathe, sleep with alcohol continuously on their minds. I have the right to say this because the minute I would wake, of course after drinking all night, my first thoughts were not, " I wonder how my day will be today." "I wonder if I will be productive today." No, the first thing I thought of was, "when is it time to have my first beer." How pitiful is that I might ask you? I am sure many people that have an addiction to alcohol the same and some might even crack open a can of beer or take a shot of booze minutes after they wake up to start their day and get their head out of the clouds from the night before drinking alcohol.
When you start to think to yourself, what is this addiction I have doing to my life and what is it doing to my family and friends? None of us that are addicted to alcohol ever for a moment think about the damage we are doing to our self and the hurt and pain we are causing to others, such as you family, spouse, and your children.
So, what do you think alcohol is doing to your body?
- Are you gaining weight?
- Do you look in the mirror in disgust?
- Are you not getting along with your spouse?
- Are you feeling useless?
- Are you short with your children and friends?
- Are you missing work due to being hungover?
- Are you spending money on alcohol that you don't have to spend?
- Have you loss your positive attitude?
- Is you self esteem gone?
- Are your dream and goals put behind your addiction to alcohol?
- Are you beginning to be a loner and drink by yourself person?
- Do you head to the bars right after work?
- Do you have the "I don't give a shit attitude?"
Wake up people, as I did, and see the light and lets try to change your life around for the better with a positive attitude and living life sober. Sobriety will never hurt or kill anyone, ALTHOUGH, your addiction to alcohol will in time make you lose your job, your family, your children, your health and in the end losing your life all because of an addiction to alcohol that can be avoided and stopped. The only think you have to do is take action and stand up to the demons that are controlling your life.
