Alcoholism In A Family Makes Children Cry

Posted on by

As we all know our children are very innocent, pure and clean but when they see Alcoholism in a Family it makes them cry.

Do we really think it’s fair to make such innocent children witness our behavior, our stupidity and our anger when we are under the influence of alcohol?

My answer and your answer should be NO it is not fair.  These poor children suffer inside because they are to young to realize what really is going on.  They don’t know if what we are doing is normal or not.  They have not been in the world long enough to know right from wrong, but on the other hand, we are adults and we should know that we are effecting our children s lives.

If you can’t see it happening in your family then just turn your television on and watch a couple of shows on Intervention and you will see exactly what happens to a family that has a family member addicted to alcohol or drugs or even both in some cases.

The addict can not see any of these problems that are occurring in their own household.  They are blinded to everything around them except the addiction to their drug of choice.

If we want to abuse our bodies and lead ourselves to self-destruction due to our addictions, go ahead but, don’t drag our innocent children down with us.

They need a fair chance in life and to be able to enjoy their family and friends all being sober.  If you don’t want to do it for yourself, do it for your children.

I’m only saying this because I have been there and I regret everyday what I have put my children through at such a young age.  Don’t do what I did or you will regret it.

Think about want you are doing before you do it, you will be happy in the end that you did.

We need to learn to be able to quit drinking and start a new life.  Enjoy your children while they are young because before you know it they will be grown and gone and living their own lives.

Getting High On Sobriety Alone

Posted on by

People that have an addiction of any kind such as Drugs or Alcohol get addicted to these because of the high they get when using.  I can relate to this because I was one of these people.

We all start out just partying and living it up at bars and party’s, and having a good old time.  Some people, like myself have a hard time just walking away after a fun time, and don’t drink or use till a next function comes up to do it all over again.

I couldn’t wait that long, I felt I needed more and more to get my high.  This becomes a habit of which then turns into a blown out addiction.  Our addiction we now have is because we have built up an Alcohol Tolerance.

We need more and more to get that feeling of the first time using.  Some of us are functioning alcoholics like myself.  I did everything needed in everyday life, such as work, attending family functions but, I always had in the back of my mind thinking about my next buzz and when will I get it.

I forgot what it felt like to be Sober 24 hours a day.  My schedule was 8 hours sleep time, 8 hours work time, and 8 hours partying time.  This went on 7 days a week, 12 month a year with no break at all.

I have learned that we miss out on so much that life has to offer us all do to our Addictions.

As years went by and I got older and wiser, I started to think, I’m missing out on everything good in my life because I’m catering to my Demons that have taken control of my mind and my body.

Finally I threw my arms up and said, I Surrender, I have had enough.  I admitted I was in denial all those years and now it’s time to get HIGH ON SOBRIETY ALONE!

There is nothing better then Sobriety in my opinion.  I just wished that I would have done this change in my life years ago.  So, if anyone wants to get a GREAT HIGH in their life just try SOBRIETY, plus it costs not even a penny, just a commitment to yourself that you will never be able to pick up that first drink.

Having and keeping a Positive Attitude will indeed help you so much in your Journey to Sobriety!
