You know what happened when I drank before breaking up with someone? We did not break up. I got so emotional in response to her emotions. I became so weak that I couldn’t deny her request for a second chance. I couldn’t clearly remember the speech I had planned for the break up.
I’ve certainly made the mistake many times in my life to believe that alcohol was just the thing to soothe a situation. Typically, I associate alcohol with things that make me feel happier, calmer, and more confident.
So, it’s only normal that, in times when I’ve felt sad, angry, or anxious, I figured that alcohol would be just the ticket to make things better. But the reality is that alcohol tends to only heighten whatever feeling you were already having.
And, that can obviously be a problem when that feeling is negative. Alcohol also has a way of ruining our filters and removing inhibitions perhaps not for the better.
