Breaking the Bad Habit of Alcoholism

Unfortunately alcoholics are often portrayed as absurd. And equally unfortunate is that too many others stand by and encourage their antics, laughing at / with them, etc. When the reality is a drunk is a drunk. Period. And he or she is not funny, he or she is drunk. Name.

And you don’t the urge to waste at least another decade entangled in their lives resembling that when you deserve better and it’s independent there. Focus on healing yourself and enjoying your own life and healthy loved ones.
