    Don't be adicted to alcohol, not only that you'll live longer, but you'll also be happy. Smoking addiction also kills.. Stay happy and healthy for the people/ animals you love and they love you.

      Nobody chooses to be a addict. It’s not as simple as what you’re making it out to be. My mum is a alcoholic and that’s not by choice. It’ll eventually kill her. I’m a recovering addict from prescription medication. It ISNT a choice. It truly is a disease. Unless you’ve been through it?You can’t possibly understand 💔💯

    'Fearless adventure' Dominic to share your journey online (pardon the pun and unintended plug). You have clearly escaped the alcohol con tricks and traps. However interestingly you were referred to as an Alcoholic (present tense). I don't believe there is such a thing. We are creatures of the choices we make and the habits repeated choices form, with the more ingrained habits being the hardest to change. Changing habits is the hardest thing but that can become easy for those prepared to open their minds and listen to the real facts in relation to all wreck creational substances. Continuing to refer to yourself, if indeed you do, as an Alcoholic is perhaps the last hurdle where you will find the alcohol track suddenly and magically disappears completely and forever. Well done. Being sober is truly a super power.

    I was a teen alcoholic, started with just staying out at weekends with friends, 13 or 14, by 16 I'm drinking every day, stealing booze out the supermarket, drinking in school... I finally detoxed (for the second and final time!) at 18, and a few years later, 20 or 21, I became a drug addict after being prescribed tramadol for a fortnight, after fleeing domestic violence with a broken arm and gash in my head, with no conversation about what these yellow and green capsules really were, blind trust in doctor's etc., and your "logic" when you are withdrawing is not logic at all, you realise afterwards 😅 So to not be unwell from a prescribed med that was abruptly stopped and no longer prescribed I took someone's bonkers suggestion and suddenly I'm a drug addict for 3 months! Great! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 It's hard to leave an addiction behind, but it's not impossible! ☺️ I'm in my 30's now, and life's not always roses, but no one can ruin my sobriety/abstinence but me, and I wouldn't be able to look my son in the eyes again if I ruin myself, and when I see my late father and daughter again one day... No. It's not worth it. Dominic is right, it's one of my proudest achievements too. I'm ashamed that I was what I once was, but to beat it and live a happy and carefree life after, is one of the best feelings imaginable.

      @@ChelseyLinden bless you Chelsey ♥️ we all have a journey to go on in life, sometimes, some of us, we make our journey harder than needs be, but it is what it is ☺️ we can only fix what we get wrong and do better from it, and see the positives as well! I learned a lot about the world (and myself) at a pretty young age, and I was lucky to have been a drug addict for only a few short months, I never had to go through what some do - I've seen the same people in my neighborhood for the last 12 years, still homeless, still using drink and drugs, still selling their bodies for a quick buck, riddled with illness and losing limbs etc... It's heartbreaking to see, but it's a daily reminder that I got out before it could be me, and for that I can only be thankful! There are much more positives than negatives, and now, as a mother, I will always be okay, there is no other alternative, my boy needs me to be my best self, so I can be the best mum I can be. I refuse to let him down. And again, one day, I have to face my late father and daughter once again, and I refuse to reunite with them without making them proud ☺️♥️🤗

      @Craig Mitchell 2 years clean is still no joke! I have seen some people who have been on drugs since their teenage years, some of them are in their 50's and still living on the streets and living that lifestyle... It's incredibly sad. It's a hard slog, but you've done it, and you are still doing it, that is a huge deal, and you should be incredibly proud too! ☺️🤗💜

    Oh my this is so sad I feel so sorry for anyone who’s been through this and this also happened to my Boyfriend’s Uncle in Mexico who’s an alcoholic I may not have also known anyone else who’s been through this nor do I drink, do drugs, get high or smoke cigarettes but I did try to commit suicide twice because I thought I had no Friends nor did I think I was ever loved but when my Boyfriend saw me at the edge of a railing he told me that I have him and my Family. I realized then that I have him who loves me I really feel so sorry for anyone who’s been through this. 😭💔

      Life is bloody tough, and it's always so easy to preach, so as much as I say "try to hold on to and focus on all the positives in life", I know it's easier said than done... I'm sorry that you've been through that, and I hope that you are never in that dark place again! ♥️🤗
