Alcoholism, the many faced problem.
Have you wondered if you have a problem with alcohol? Here is my answer – if it causes problems in your life you do!
Has it caused problems in your relationships with wife, family or friends?
Does the wife just not understand?
How come she always gets mad when you are a little late?
Has it caused problems with work?
Have you gotten disciplined for being late because you were hung-over?
Have you not been able to go to work because you were hung-over?
Have you quit jobs because they just don’t understand why you spend so much time in the bar?
There are many more have you topics, but I think you get the idea what I mean.
Again my answer is – if it causes problems in your life you do!
Don’t get mad and leave just yet, because I’m here to tell you about my life with alcohol. I tried to justify all the questions that were asked of me with – “you just don’t understand”. And you know what, they didn’t. They had no idea why I was such a jackass – why couldn’t I see what was happening in my life. Why was it that I needed to chase other women, when I had a perfectly good wife at home?
I started drinking at about fifteen and thought I had found all the answers to life. I was a skinny kid with big ears and a medical problem that kept me from participating in sports. Kids are murder when you’re a bit different. They laugh and point and make fun of you and, and, and, oh well you get the point. If the other boys want nothing to do with you, then of course, the girls want nothing to do with you either.
Anyway at about 15 ½, I found the answer – it was beer. Just one of those things and I became a man. I could laugh and tell stories and you would laugh and tell stories with me. I had the courage to ask a girl for a date, and sometimes she’d say yes! Oh it was wonderful. The secret to success was in that brown bottle. This lasted for awhile and I enjoyed it and I didn’t get into much trouble for awhile.
My next thoughts will follow this a bit farther and I will get into how booze and my bipolar started working together.
