Alcohol wrecked my happiness

Let me get it right here, I do drink alcohol, I am not against the consumption of alcohol per se, but I am against consumption of alcohol by people whose personality and temper undergo big changes under the influence.

Whether it is just making a fool of oneself, which in this case, when finding out that you consistently do this, you should be wise enough to limit your own intake (unless of course, if you don't mind making a fool of yourself).

In other instances, it could become of harm to others, either physically or mentally, and when one realises this, shouldn't one take even more steps and be more aware than ever of one's consumption rate?

I have been affected personally by the effects of alcohol on someone who goes through extreme mood swings when under the influence. It is not a pretty sight. Verbal abuses can be forgotten with time, and with some preparation, it won't even be taken too literally by the listener even though some words may still hurt. Physical abuses don't go away quite so easily and when it progresses to that, who knows to what extent it will go to?

I am looking for a way to stand up to this. May God be with me throughout this journey...
