Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Time to act…

So a dear friend, Larry, may you rest in peace, took his own life two days ago. At first I was in shock and really couldn’t focus on anything else, other than how serious Alcoholism really is and how everyday someone can lose their way.
It made me realize that everyday stressors can take my focus away on the simple idea that, I have to make each day better than the one before. If I turn away from that mindset then this disease and the demons that come with it will take my life. It’s a real struggle that many can’t comprehend.
I always have to stop and take a brief moment to dissect every emotion and feeling that I experience because that is my responsibility as a human being.
If I can’t take one minute out of each day to really process the reactions and emotions about every adverse moment that comes with this life, then I may just have some defects of character that I can correct. In no way is this a simple process, because again it’s an everyday struggle. Being judgmental or making a rash comment about the way some one talks, thinks, dresses, drives, or just even the lifestyle they portray on social media is an intuitive moment of clarity that proves that all the work I have put in, is working. And I know that is a true miracle.
A lot of the friends I have a daily relationship with, are very aware of what I have experienced and overcome. They know my story of the past 11 year vicious cycle. I felt like I doing perfectly fine and everything was going great. That was a huge lie. This time last year, the denial is overwhelming to even attempt comprehension. This is a real life threatening disease millions of everyday people, that you wouldn’t think twice or even expect. It has many different signs and can redirect destructive behaviors and decisions which will ultimately end in the loss of life.
Losing this amazing, loving and caring man to this disease has sparked a flame inside me to act, voice and challenge everyone that reads this, to take a moment to really dig deep and take inventory of the people you come in contact with everyday and educate yourself on how to notice some one struggling with substance abuse or know some one struggling and aren’t quite sure how to go about talking about it…..feel free to send me a message. I know that some are in too deep but that is just because they feel alone and no one should ever feel alone or unwanted.
All it takes is the willingness to grow.

Take care, much love to you all😌
