Why? do people drink alcohol, can alcohol heal a broken heart?

in #steemitdiversify7 years ago (edited)

Have you ever suffered from a broken heart? I’m sure you have, even if you don’t want to admit it. Well, don’t be embarrassed. Love encompasses many prospects of disaster, and one of them definitely is being deserted by the person you are completely crazy about. But that’s not incurable; because time can heal almost anything –eventually. The question here is whether or not alcohol can contribute to the mending process as so many people believe it does.

Mending a broken heart is one of the toughest things in the world. Although literally a heart isn’t broken, nevertheless, when we are rejected by the person we love, our hearts resemble a mirror falling from a tower. So, can the shattered pieces of it be put together? They can; and although the process causes unbearable pain, one day our hearts will be cured and we will be capable of falling in love again.

Why do so many people feel that alcohol can make the pain disappear, then? Maybe because, for a short period of time, until you are sober again, it gives some false sense of relief. What it actually does is leave you numb; making you believe that the pain is receding. Alcohol, in fact, drives us deeper into our grief – it can make depression hit red.
Sitting at a bar or alone at home emptying one glass after another is not a solution. On the contrary it creates additional problems. It can make us antisocial – even violent. It alienates us from other people. It can even make us lose our friends and our jobs. When we allow ourselves to drink our life away in the pretense of trying to heal the ache in our heart, one day, there will be no life left for us – just empty bottles thrown around.
As is the case with every problem, solutions are found when we manage to come to terms with the harsh reality, and not when we hide from it, as the people who resort to drinking do.

One of the most common mistakes that people commit is that they try to find comfort through objectionable habits such as alcohol consumption, drugs etc. Instead of allowing time for the broken heart to heal, resorting to these unwanted behaviors is going to backfire very soon. Remember, time is the best compensator. With every passing day, you will get less relieved, provided you don’t lock yourself down in a lonely room or start drinking alcohol.

Some individuals find it extremely difficult to forget their ex. Despite their best efforts, it seems like a seemingly difficult task for them to not think about the lost love. Over here, one should dispose of all the things that remind them of their lost love. Any memories associated with the past can be painful, so it’s in your best interest to move on in life, instead of bringing your life to a standstill.
A broken heart also implies broken dreams and hopes. A person feels that he/she will never ever be happy again in life. Such thoughts will add to your stress, and do no good to your existing situation. One should know that a broken heart does not mean the end of the road. Remember, "There is light at the end of each tunnel" and life is beyond a single relationship. So move on, and try to distract yourself from all these unpleasant thoughts. One can consider this as the best stage to pursue lost hobbies such as reading, writing, singing, painting and so on. Besides this, one can indulge in activities such as yoga, meditation, stretching etc to help their health recover from the mental and physical trauma associated with the ordeal. However, if none of these measures work for you, then do not hesitate to seek professional advice from someone who has dealt such cases in the past.

This is true. Alcohol only creates a slight sense of relief but when the alcohol subsides, we are left in the inner recesses of our minds. Alcohol just numbs us of pain.

You really articulated it well. If I may suggest, you can use markdown text styling to improve your posts. You have a good grasp of your entry but its does lack emphasis. I think using markdown would really help you summarize and make your point. Hope to hear more of your thoughts bai. You seem to know a lot about heartbreaks and alcohol haha.

thank you and i take note of youre point i am a newbie when it comes to writing an article and a blog..

Thats okay. Ako man sad haha. Im just thankful of the people who have helped me here. I want to do the same for others. Tinabangay rjd ta dnhe sa steemit. Keep on steeming bai

ok po i will tnx din po

No. It eats liver only😂😂😂

It's almost been a year since I got dumped. 3 years and he got another girl (Ikr? what an ass) And I have not been sober for a long time. I got dumped summer time and I drank EVERYDAY. Not even kidding. At first it was to forget yea? Alcohol gives the perfect excuse to act out in a way, be wild and all that jazz. But it actually came to a point where I actually enjoyed drinking with my friends. Not to forget, but to enjoy the company I keep.

My friends and their words helped me through it, and of course the alcohol. I believe that it's okay to fall apart, to burst, to break down, it's only human. People have different ways to cope, and whatever it is they want to do, it's all part of the healing process.

All the love! xx

nice 1. thank you madam

The effect of alcohol in our body is just temporary, but after its effect has gone the pain will be back again. The best thing to do is to let go and move on.

tagay pa pre... nice 1 bro move on nalang din talaga

Alcohol only offers a temporary solution. You drink and only forget for a while and in the real sense all the pains returns when you return to normal. Time is what heals a broken heart. Just like it took time to fall in love, u need time to unlearn and unlove to move on. Time heal wounds and restores the heart. Time, and not the bottle of liquor

yah that's correct. thanks a lot

ayus to pre . upvoted
