Sprout of it

So, last weekend, I was in a Supermarket i tend to use on the Wirral  ( I train over there of a Saturday evening )

And the front page of one of the tabloids happened to catch my eye

Here’s the jist

“6m Brits will be sprout of it by Xmas dinner”

It went on to explain that 6 million britons will be drunk by the time the Turkey goes in the oven

and 1 in 5 of them will have a ‘fight’ with a loved one on Christmas day

it brought a bit of a smile to my face at the time

bit it ain’t no joke

I used to get drunk a fair bit ( years ago. might tell you more next week )

so I get it…….

but for some reason, getting steaming drunk is accepted as normal

my opinion

everyone is trying their best with what they have

and they drink to get some temporary relief from the pain they’re in

whether that’s

*stress

*overwhelm

*money worries

*their relationship is sh*t

*they don’t like themselves

whatever it is, feeling drunk makes them feel better about it for a little while

but you know the deal my friend

its a simple AVOIDANCE tactic

its a way of avoiding sh*t

a strategy to avoid responsibility

a way to put off the pain of change

but as you well know, amiga

It DOES NOT WORK

in fact, it makes things worse

more tired —– more stressed ——fatter ———-sicker

a BRUTAL, seemingly never ending cycle

but the good news is this:

THERE IS A BETTER WAY

a way that can transform you from lost, tired and overworked

to UNSTOPPABLE

without the need to hide and sedate with booze

it starts with your THOUGHTS

( more on that in the near future )

PS – I WONT be fighting with any of my loved ones this Christmas

Why?

They can’t trigger me or piss me off

ONLY I CAN DO THAT

and yep, I might indeed have 1 or 2 beers on xmas day, I ain’t no saint 🙂
