Why do people drink? what exactly the intoxication ensues?
How it helps?
Open to hear views on this.
Perhaps you are not understanding my question i am not talking about the harm i am talking about what exactly attracts people towards it.
Why people are inclined towards it, when they are happy or sad like how it helps?
Lol
And sometimes consumption of any narcotics may be due to weak social support system, peer pressure (even in adults) and low self esteem due to which one can use it as a clutch and escape reality by clouding their consciousness and ability to make sound decisions.
Then when life hits you like a brick in the face with all the decisions you have been neglecting to take, you consume it more and more till it becomes an addiction
Make sense

Worst part isβ¦ You wake up in the morning feeling Soo bad about your selfβ¦ You wake up either hungover and smell like shit and more problems cause you used up all the cash you hadβ¦ Now you have nothing to eat, your head is knocking but you canβt stop because in 24hrs every hour/minute/second is Soo miserable that youβd do anything to put the pain aside for few hours to just be happy or get some sleepβ¦
The worst part is for me is i dont drink i am 26 never did, never got that appeal and when i am with friends i feel a lill left out.
When they plan parties or trips i am the odd one out ( according to them I donβt know how to enjoy life because i dont drink)
And even when its comes to dating π even girls are like dude you boring i am like why canβt we do anything else there must be more to things then this

If you drink for fun itβs okayβ¦ But honestly speakingβ¦ I wish I never tasted alcohol in the first place itβs ruining my lifeβ¦ And I am trying to stop but itβs Soo hard β¦ My hands shake Everytime I think about itβ¦ I had to drink dailyβ¦ From morning till evening so that my hands would stop shakingπ

Iβm 21years old and a femaleβ¦ I have 16days without drinking my goal is to reach 3months soberβ¦ But cigarettes is also a problem πππso yeahβ¦ Iβm stuck and I just realized life is like a helicopter πππβ¦ I donβt know how to operate a helicopter ππ so yeahβ¦
Well well π
Hope Hellen @hope_hellen
Surprised??ππ
Yes and No
Hope Hellen @hope_hellen
Why yes and why no?
Is it because I sound older?
Or your wondering how did a 21year old girl become an alcoholic??
I can never be sure but then again itβs no suprise even teens are doing drugs so what can I say π΅βπ«

Lolzβ¦ Thatβs really offensive but true
Paradox Guy @paradoxguy431...
I mean no offense just an observation and perhaps if it makes someone feel better who am i to judge.
Helps in feeling eased out β¦ I know it wrong β¦ We should build our will to feel powerful
Understandable
I also sometimes think similarly. Like if there are problems, one should deal with it and not escape using alcohol.
Hope Hellen @hope_hellen
Itβs easier said than done manβ¦
Maybe we all have our ways to escape, music, sports games anything. There is a grey part which is hard to understand for me i would like to enjoy the good moments without alcohol atleast Iβll remember what exactly happened next day. When i am lost in pain i want to feel it and work through it making myself numb is ainβt gonna help not going to learn anything from the experience.

Change your circle of friendsβ¦ Cause when you start chilling with thieves youβll end up being oneβ¦ Because if youβre brave enough to look into reality and ask your wounds important questions, why ball with alcoholics/druggies? Save yourself man. Addictions are bad newsβ¦ you do not wanna go there famπ
I know that but there are many people who have not touched alcohol in their life and still deal with their life very well. So I like to believe that alcohol should not be a way of escapism. π

I wont i know myself quite well now.
Paradox Guy @paradoxguy431...
Well i got many intresting feedbacks so thankyou all.
alcoholism can be a form of genetic problem as well. Children of people involved in any sort of narcotics may have that gene which will not allow their neurotransmitters to degenerate which will further force them to drink or consume any other drug more and more to get that same high. Yet again there is a solution to every situation. Distance yourself from it, become strong willed, ask for help whenever required, purge out your feelings (by journaling not via drinking) seek therapy, and increase your self esteem
