Anglia Ruskin University Mental Health Response

Overview

please respond. to Paulina. with. 100. words.  

Alcohol can be fun, in moderation. I think everything goes back into someone personality as in;

how is there self control

how is there mental health

  • their environment (home, school, etc)  
  • do they have an addictive trait
  • Also it depends on the person with who they socialize with, at times people hit rock bottom and they want to forget everything so alcohol has a big role (as well as drugs). I also believe and its how it worked on me, I grew tired of it, I did not like the feeling of being buzz, I had to see myself being drunk and I was not happy with my lost of control over a liquid drink, I did not enjoy girls night, I did not enjoy how people looked at me (last time was 22 years old) and I think I upgraded from basic beer and got to enjoy an IPA in a social setting or with my partner talking and enjoying a movie, I enjoy a glass of wine with food or paint and wine get togethers lastly cocktails are expensive, so must have limitations even tho some are so delicious. I wanted a better impression of myself.   
  • Alcohol been around for centuries, it is a fun beverage, I do not enjoy being around people who drink too much, family wise its okay some are fun to be around, some demons come out and its cases of beer not 2 beers, cases. It gets boring. I know customers who are alcoholic and they are older and its cause they are lonely or their "friends" who aren't real friends have the same interest. I do not shame someone who struggles, I have a family member lost in drugs, its sad, its damaging to your family/friends but mostly yourself and to recover is so difficult. Help them as much as they are willing to be helped, harder said then done. I don't know someone personally so I would try to be there but hard to say cause I never been in a situation as so, cannot imagine that difficulty if that is your partner, sibling, child, parent, etc. I wish rehabs were supported by the government.
