Effects of Alcohol:
Where to even start with this…IDK…
If your reading this, YOUR probably reading this and YOU might have an ‘alcohol problem’…I want you to know, YOUR NOT ALONE!
Tons, and tons, and tons of people deal with this “Demon” we face inside that tends to take complete control OVER OUR LIFE….
It did me, and millions of other people out there just like you and me!
Effects of Alcohol – The People We Love Suffer the Most…
I wanna share a story with you guys, whoever is reading this…
…and I want YOU to know, I’ve never really come right out and published this information about my addiction with alcohol, but I learned that I must accept the facts of where I was at in my life, and how FAR I’VE COME since then…
Quick story of my “Horrific Experience”
The Effects of Alcohol “Drained” ME of CONFIDENCE!
Imagine…OR connect with me here if you’ve been “there”…
Waking up, it’s 6 AM and your already ‘hating’ YOUR LIFE! You haven’t even rolled of your friends couch your sleeping on, and YOU ALREADY HATE how your day is going.
Why?…Maybe it’s the pounding headache from the “hangover” that feels like someone has just drilled 100 holes in your head while you were sleeping.
You look for your phone, it’s nowhere to be found, your wallet isn’t where you ‘thought’ you left it, and you run straight for the toilet to puke up all the redbull and vodkas you drank just 3 hours prior…
After you crawl up off the floor, you turn on the bathroom light, and start the shower to try and rinse off quickly so your not late for work…
You get out, get dressed, still hung-over and smellin like alcohol…
…and off you go…
Still a liability to other drivers around you, and would most-likely FAIL a breathalizer with extreme dui levels if you had the chance…
You luckily make it to work, and can’t wait to get off already…
The Effects of Alcohol TAKE OVER AGAIN!
You make it through the day, and it’s time to do it ALL OVER AGAIN!
Effects of Alcohol Ruin Live’s Everyday…
It did mine, this story above, was my exact day to the “T”…
Sad I know…
…but that’s how I lived my life, EVERYDAY for years…not caring for anyone but “MYSELF”…
I was SELFISH and didn’t care about anybody but myself and my alcohol.
Over the years, I ruined relationships, I lost trust from others, and drained my name of
ANY credibility with the people that ‘mattered most’ to me…
All for what?…A “Temporary Solution” to ALL THE PAIN…
…ALL THE “PAIN” that was accumulated over the years from ALL MY FAILURES…
Why was I a failure?
Simple.
I was “Unhappy” with MY OWN QUALITY of LIFE!
…I was broke ALL THE TIME
…I lost my license from a DUI
…I gained weight and lost all my confidence
…I began to lose friends by the day
…I grew apart from my family
…I lost gf’s from letting alcohol be “my choice” rather than them
…I got fired from multiple jobs from alcohol being the “cause”
…I was lost, I felt like a loser, and I hit “rock bottom”
Effects of Alcohol and What it Taught Me:
I FINALLY realized…
…that alcohol controlled every aspect of my life, not me, the alcohol…
A “manufactured” substance that altered my ‘state of mind’ for a minimal period to help “take the pain away” was my ANSWER to EVERYTHING…
>>>Stressed out? Drink…
>>>Can’t sleep? Drink…
>>>Relationship problems? Drink…
>>>Financial Struggles? Drink…
>>>EVERYTHING that didn’t go “My Way”…Caused me to DRINK…
Until 1 Day…
I made a decision, to FINALLY commit to MYSELF, and not the alcohol.
I left Arizona, moved to Hawaii, enrolled in school and finally TOOK ACTION to make something of myself!
The problem was simple.
I had “commitment problems”…
When I learned to commit to myself before I started anything, I could do ANYTHING that I wanted to.
…and I have…
Almost 2 years strait of “The New Me”…
** I finally got my high school diploma at age 25
** I finished a culinary art’s program in under 2 years
** I had “Perfect” Attendance for 2 years strait
** I got student of the month for my classes over 7 times
** I found my “calling”
>>> I beat ALCOHOL for GOOD!!!
…and
I met “The Girl” of My Dreams!
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT!
Commit, take action, and follow your dreams…
The Effects of Alcohol Will Never Be Forgotten!
