Alcoholism in Teenager - Love Cure for Alcoholism in Alcohol Culture
Damaging effects and causes of alcoholism in teenager
If you have any serious problems, anxiety or depression in your life... if you are unhappy... if you are lost... if you feel helpless... if you are not grounded in Love with your family and relationships... then you should not touch alcohol. It may amplify negative states and override healthy brain chemistry. Your whole brain may become contaminated with negative drunken states of depression and anxiety. There must be unbelievable pain and hurt for a teenager to develop alcoholism.
I have personally experienced the damaging effects of alcohol and cannabis (a deadly combination) in my life when I was a teenager. The first time I got drunk was when I was 8 years old. I used to sneak alcohol out of the house and get drunk with my friends when I was 12. When I was 13, I used to have a shot of brandy before going out the house everyday to make me feel good. When I was 14 years old I first got served in a pub. By the age of 15 I could easily out-drink a fully-grown adult. Alcoholism was slowly developing.
In my early years it was really fun. But in teenage years drinking became a form of rebellion against society and against my parents. It was also a way to escape reality, the problems and pains of my life. But unfortunately alcoholism led me into even more darkness. As a teenager I used to get into fights and wrestle people for entertainment. Because I felt dead inside, feeling pain helped me feel alive. I used to get people to hit me, to prove that I was really strong. We used to smash things over each others heads. One time I jumped off a roof out of an attic window for attention. Fighting people and trying to be bigger than society just didn't help me. So after realising that I needed Love, I decided to stop fighting and start loving instead.
One time I was listening to the radio and a song, Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers came on. The chorus is, "I need your Love, I need your Love", in a heartfelt way. I was thinking, that’s a beautiful song. It made me realize that I really needed Love. How wonderful it would be if somebody really Loved me. I then started to imagine people just Loving me, how healing that would be to feel Love. I realised that it’s okay to feel vulnerable, and now as a teenager it was time for me to stop alcoholism .
Alcoholism is a way for a teenager to rebel against a horrible culture
Teenagers drink to enjoy themselves, because they don’t really get to do that in their everyday life. People go out and drink for adventure and excitement, because their work, culture and everyday life is boring. People drink to laugh and unleash their emotions, because their work, culture, family and everyday life suppress these. So there’s no wonder that teenagers turn to alcoholism.
As a culture we need to make some serious changes. If your work isn’t your Love, then it can be a form of soul prostitution. 80% of people are drifters in life. Instead of forging their own destiny, they spend most of their day doing a job they hate. Ideally there shouldn’t be any difference between family life, work and play. It should all be one thing. Everyone’s their own boss in life. Your work should be enjoyable and make other people happy. It should be fun and satisfying. Your work should make life easier for other people. Love starts off with you and your partner, and then expands to the whole world. Once you are giving and receiving Love happiness will start to flow.
Alcoholism- physical symptom
For me the negative aspects of alcoholism as a teenager far outweighed the positive. Because of my drinking I became very unhealthy, put on a lot of weight and began to develop high blood pressure.
Now that I’ve really purified my body and mind through meditation and yoga techniques, drinking alcohol is just traumatic. It brings back too many bad feelings. A while back I drank some alcohol at a nightclub. After the initial hangover (the feeling of my body recovering from being poisoned!), I could feel the poison in my body for over a week. This is because my liver is now purified. I also love pure consciousness, awareness and clarity in my life. But drinking alcohol scrambles this. Therefore it is more healthy for me not to drink.
The Drink is a good technique for purifying and cleansing the body (especially the Liver). Also drinking lots of water is important for purifying your being. Water allows you to wash out every trace of alcoholism, cannabis and toxins on a physical level, but also mental/emotional toxins. Apparently when a spiritual/emotional problem is healed, toxins are then released into the body. Drinking lots of water heals you and may wash out spiritual "illusions" too. A healthy Diet is essential. Do yourself a favour, don’t drink or smoke cannabis. Look after your body and life as a teenager.
Peer pressure
There is no need to drink alcohol. Alcohol is a depressant. It is also very costly for most too. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t go out and enjoy yourself or mix with other people who drink. My biggest friends are all drinkers. You can even absorb other people’s drunkenness without getting drunk yourself. Getting drunk is nothing more than a state of mind. I still like to enjoy myself and laugh at people who get drunk :) Now it’s time to stop the alcoholism and take control of your life for a happy wonderful future.
