Self oppressive lifestyle

I can write my life story. It has been a journey of mixed up and downs. But one i would wish to share is how alcoholism ruined my early years as a youthman. How I had so many fake friends and how much time, resources and life direction I lost. The beauty part of the story is how the beauty of life was awakened and I quit drinking. I was no more a daily drinking officer (DDO). I gained inner sight that I could see beauty in situations. I started seeking love and joy instead of temporary happiness. I pity and pray for people who spend too much time worrying about things they chase and are of no significance towards humanity. At the age of 34. Am living a life full not materially but at peace with myself. I make sure nobody is going to suffer for my benefit. I seek ultimate joy by sharing. Nothing makes me feel better than sharing even if is just a smile to a stranger. The painful part of my life transformation I found myself all alone. I went through depression fighting rejection but I stood alone. 7 or so years later I am still in one man commando mode but content and fulljoying my way of life

Many suffer for lack of support. Some cases just needs a shoulder to lean on, others needs someone they can talk to without being judged. Addiction loathes criticism and that is why many victims opts solitary life. An addict who opens up with his problem does not look for cure or formula for how to overcome his problem but just an ASSURANCE that all be fine. If criticised he looks at himself as an outcast and goes to his lowest bottom in all aspects of life. When you cheer a baby who is learning how to walk, it works wonders - put that baby down with scares and criticism and they become crippled for fear to take steps.
