It’s an unfortunate circumstance but that’s life, I’m always concerned about those who go through situations like this and how their mental health will be affected by it later on in life, alcoholism is a very serious thing it not only affects you but it affects everyone around you, alcoholism can turn an incredibly wealthy and sane man into a bomb in less than a year’s time. It’s amazing how the effects of alcohol continuously become more powerful as a user continues to abuse the substance, this is simply because the tolerance of the abuser continuously goes up so therefore they require an increased amount of liquor to numb the pain that they’re feeling inside. Because of this it has a even more adverse affect on the body causing and develop various mental illnesses such as severe depression, alcohol is a depressant naturally it makes people depressed, most people don’t understand that and then they wonder why the more they drink the more depressed they become. My number one concern with alcohol is the fact that the depression can reach a level in which people start to contemplate suicide, once a person starts to contemplate suicide the situation becomes dire at that point. I’m really worried about a lot of different families that I know because the father in the family is a heavy abuser of alcohol, because of his heavy alcohol abuse he’s very negative and standoffish with his children and he is always criticizing them and attacking them about something. This negativity will rub off on the child and later on in life their likelihood of becoming an alcoholic is increased.
