Drinking speeds up breat cancer
There just isn’t a day that goes by when there isn’t another story on all the awful things drinking can do. It’s a wonder the pubs can get any trade at all its so dastardly bad for everyone. I don’t know about anyone else but I have an amazing ability to ignore this kind of information as I think it doesn’t apply to me. During the worst of my drinking I was always getting different pills from the doctor, for my various ’symptoms’, depression, anxiety, paranoia etc, of course I couldn’t make the links that the massive amount of mood and mind altering substances I consumed could have anything to do with these deeply unpleasant feelings. So when I was checking out the side effects of said pills there was always a big warning, something to do with not mixing them with alcohol or driving heavy vehicles.
Of course the warnings weren’t referring to me they were referring to other people. People who drank too much.
I rationalized that it couldn’t make that much difference, the risks weren’t very high, they probably didn’t mean it, they were just be over cautious.
Now I’ve ‘woken up’ I hope to God I stopped in time, even now I worry from time to time the long term damage I may have caused myself through alcohol and drug abuse. Now I have been ‘restored to sanity’ I don’t even drink coffee because caffeine isn’t good for you. It’s funny though when drinking all the risks in the world wouldn’t have stopped me drinking, potential breast cancer, heart disease, mental health problems, rape, that was stuff that happened to there people. Drinking took priority over all of these potential hazards.
That was stuff that happened to other people, not me right?
