Lying to yourself and denying the fact that you have self destructive behavior routines is a very common thing for humans to do. Lots of people repress their awareness of the fact that using alcohol has bad consequences both socially and emotionally for years before they finally realize that they have a drinking problem.
Hello Kohdi. I am glad that you are doing your own thing, going your own way. I like your cheerfully rebellious attitude. I am glad you don't feel the need to blend in.
I was watching a makeover show recently [ spring 2022 ] on tv that focuses on this flashy guy coming into a business and taking it from low sales to high sales and high profits. In this episode the target business was a tavern with a dance floor on the side. I was surprised that one of the recommendations from the business guru was to cut the dance floor space by a fourth and use the place for tables instead. The guru said "There's too much room on the dance floor. Too many people can dance at the same time. You are only making money off the people who are sitting and drinking. Therefore, we need to make sure there are more people sitting and fewer people dancing." The changes were made and everyone left the makeover scene feeling happy. I was absolutely not expecting the business guru to say that the dance floor was too large.
I've been sober about 5 years. I don't remember the dates at all. That feels great. My ex's story is awfully close to yours. It is possible to come back from death. But you have to make the commitment to Live. Keep sharing your truth because you can help so many who think it's too late. Thanks Kohdi
To me it feels like the chronic drinker is living in sealed, grey, gloomy bubble of alternate reality where they assume that drinking is necessary to having fun. When they see you, Kohdi, laughing, smiling, chatting, and having fun they are shocked that you doing all that without being in the grey fog of alcohol consumption. They may start to silently think "Have I been lying to myself? Is there actually laughter and fun times outside this grey, gloomy bubble of alcoholic drinking? Have I been lying to myself that this grey bubble is unbreakable and there is no hope of changing for the better? That's a scary thought. I wonder how he broke out of the alcohol bubble. "
thanks for watching! kohdi is the man! hopefully you stick around & check out my other guests and episodes that focus on mental health. go have yourself a day!
Some cynical bartenders might be thinking "Why is this guy here taking up a seat? A person who sits in a seat like that usually spends $50 a night on alcohol. This guy is depriving me of the chance to get $50 into my cash register. "
