I have been a semi heavy drinker since i was about 17. I quit recently and have been sober from alcohol for about 8 months. Haven't felt better in my life. The reason for this post is to discuss the health and cause of affect that this has on people. I know it's widely studied but a more in depth spiritual explanation would help a lot with anyone's situation. I'm not here to tell you what to do obviously, you do you , I personally have found the substance to be one of the most boring, and destructive things in my life which is why I chose to quit. I feel it slowly takes your soul which is why they call the drug alcohol, "spirits". It very much feels to me like a frog in a pot slowly starting to boil as it takes time for these problems to surface.
Next is why do some people respond to the drug differently, is it the chemical makeup in the brain? Is it their personality? Is it their life situation that makes them an angry drunk? Addiction plays a huge role in this development, once you do an action and put that action on repeat, you are programming your brain to keep doing this particular action. Hence addiction develops and you don't know how you got there. You thought you can be like everybody else and drink socially, but is not the case.
What makes someone be put into an addiction box? Outside stress and influences? I'm curious as to find what everyone's ideas are on this as I cannot drink. Nor do I wish to return to the habit. Its not good for the body, my inner world and my being. Its the one substance that wrecked my life. Psycedellics, weed, even oxycotton i never got addicted to. I wonder why alcahol is so strong, is it because its legal? Legal means ok? What are your thoughts
Thanks guys! Have a great one today
