  • Why do I drink alcohol?
    From stereotypes and excuses, to the underlying issues and feelings that drive us to drink to excess. How one drink becomes too many. I tell a bit of my story and how I have changed since stopping.

    Thank you for sharing your story.. I am searching for answers in how I should help my son.. everything you said I see happening to him. I had a talk with him last week and told him this has to be his choice.. and I am always here to support him and pray for him.

      I published a video this week on how to help an alcoholic but it seems you're already handling it well. I hope you and your son can resolve all that you need to.

    Brilliant you kicked the alcohol, takes a lot of courage to do that. And I'm sorry for your loss. Life is rich enough without any of those form of crutches. 🙂

      Same here; emotional regulation issues and awful gloomy depression plays a huge part in my drinking. I think that's where AA is so simplistic; it's WHY people drink. Why? There's no big man in the sky about to save me.

    There’s an old saying: want to stop 🛑 being an alcoholic, stop 🛑 drinking. The most ridiculous “disease “ ever.
