When we drink, we numb that pain and so we just keep doing it again... and again... and again. It's so weird when you realize how celebrated it is. Why do we laugh off that we are drinking a cancer causing, drama inducing thing that makes you vomit and feel terrible the next day? So what that we did something embarrassing. But, then we take it too far with this addictive substance and poof, it is not celebrated anymore. It is looked down upon. I won't understand it but I am sure glad I know all of the science behind it now that just that makes me not want to go back. It's good there are a bunch of other reasons to cement it in stone. Love and Stay Sober!
