Hereโs how the latter worksโฃ
โฃ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ ๐ - We have stress in our life which is normal and naturalโฃ
โฃ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ ๐ โ But if that stress is not dealt with, and keeps being pushed down, it creates emotions that we donโt want to feelโฃ
โฃ
๐๐ญ๐๐ฉ ๐ โ Because we donโt want to feel our feelings, we use booze to numb them, so we donโt feel the feelsโฃ

โฃ
The thing is, the booze only MASKS the feelingsโฃ
โฃ
It doesnโt mean the feelings arenโt there. โฃ
โฃ
Most of us hate talking about feelings because we think it shows weaknessโฃ
โฃ
Then we get to a point where we have a breakdown, we lash out, we sabotage and do further damage. โฃ
โฃ
It takes courage to ask for help when booze seems like the only way out. โฃ
