Hereโ€™s how the latter worksโฃ
โฃ
๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐Ÿ - We have stress in our life which is normal and naturalโฃ
โฃ
๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐Ÿ โ€“ But if that stress is not dealt with, and keeps being pushed down, it creates emotions that we donโ€™t want to feelโฃ
โฃ
๐’๐ญ๐ž๐ฉ ๐Ÿ‘ โ€“ Because we donโ€™t want to feel our feelings, we use booze to numb them, so we donโ€™t feel the feelsโฃ

The thing is, the booze only MASKS the feelingsโฃ
โฃ
It doesnโ€™t mean the feelings arenโ€™t there. โฃ
โฃ
Most of us hate talking about feelings because we think it shows weaknessโฃ
โฃ
Then we get to a point where we have a breakdown, we lash out, we sabotage and do further damage. โฃ
โฃ
It takes courage to ask for help when booze seems like the only way out. โฃ
