As a woman with children I am bombarded on Facebook with meme's of "Why Mommy Drinks" and You Tube videos of Mom's ranting while sipping their booze, cute sayings and wooden signs for sale all glorifying alcohol abuse, yet the misery and HELL of it all is swept under the rug and NEVER openly talked about on social media. <br /><br />My Blog: http://mysticmeyehm.blogspot.com/Terrianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/05447949547082521795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-22319012456467315842016-10-03T21:21:27.858+13:002016-10-03T21:21:27.858+13:00It's a trap and and insidious one at that .
Wh...It's a trap and and insidious one at that .<br />When I was growing up drinking and drugging was rock n roll , now being stone cold sober is the new rock n roll . Brainwashing from an early age that one must drink to enjoy anything , standing back looking at it objectively it's so bloody sad ! Nothing better than spending an evening surrounded by red faced drinkers to recharge the sober batteries , I come away from these events elated that I do not drink anymore :) Hey Mrs D , you lead I follow @SatnicTaxi Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210672532484965069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-64042849000104587052016-09-30T20:15:20.722+13:002016-09-30T20:15:20.722+13:00I'm so in tune with this post.

I wonder why, why do the majority of people drink alcohol? Why are we not teaching people how to live their lives authentically, feeling all that comes our way and figuring out how to navigate the tough stuff without dulling our senses.

The comment made was "Alcohol is really bloody good for making money!!!". And therein lies the reason booze flows through many community based organisations, sports clubs, and fundraising such as your lad's Scout Group. In the past I would have thought, 'Hell yeah alcohol!' but at the meeting the comment really stuck out in my sober brain. I must say MY world is far less booze soaked now I'm choosing to stay clear of the stuff!!!

I always was aware before but now I see it x1000. Even the dumb Pottery Barn catalog shows the full glasses of wine set out on the coffee/dining table they are selling. Commercials, magazines, social media, everyone seems like they can barely get through life without the stuff! My older one is 11 and he's probably getting tired of hearing me rant against commercials on TV ("what are they saying?? Do you get the message - that life cannot be FUN without a poisonous beverage??! NOT TRUE." and so on:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-90900051316921139302016-09-25T23:41:57.266+13:002016-09-25T23:41:57.266+13:00Awareness - Not only for alcohol but I am more con...Awareness - Not only for alcohol but I am more conscious of mental illness and other addictions in my friends and how that is represented and often made fun of on TV.
