Just Starting Out...for the thousandth time
Well one of the things which I realised by myself and I fact also reading help was that partying is not equal to drinking. Now it might be hard to accept. A happening place we see slick bars, clubs romantic restaurants and no drinking ? Well I tell you I have been partying a lot but not drinking. Now it's not easy to accept how can anyone do so but let me tell you a reason how you can accept.
See alcohol, cigarette, tobacco, Meth, cocaine, heroine are all drugs. All drugs have common trait - addiction. Our brain reacts to all in similar way - getting artificial high which is addictive and brain wants more and more of it. Now our brain does gets exited while seeing the same party places but our society has conditioned it to seeing partying and alcohol together. It used to be tobacco too but now cigarettes is not accepted.
Have you see young 5 years old kids ? They get high looking at cartoons, parties etc. we were all like them. We have ability to get our natural high without drugs. This natural highs are achieved by water, food, sex or what ever pleases us including parties. The problem is we have tough our brain that high is achieved only by alcohol or our drug.
Well do a simple thing. Next time in a party or a bar. Notice how many people are not drinking alcohol. You may not find huge number of people (as most of them who don't drink May find it stupid to sit and drink coke for hours next to drunks) but those who are you will see that that may not be getting bored.
I came back from a beach side conference with party every nights. I was jumping to music, dancing and enjoying like a baby without booze. I was so surprised at my natural high. And I a. Only 3 months sober. People even remarked "u don't need a drink to get high or lose yourself" .
So when you described Amsterdam has being a party place with people drinking ... It look at it and noticed how we all alcoholics especially associate booze and partying.
I spent weekend in hamburg last week. I did. It drink nor had any regret but there I was alone so didn't have anyone to go out with. But saw lots of people drinking alone. I was not drinking so enjoyed few party places and slept. I felt whole town was partying except me. Next morning I went for a jog in the park. Was surprised to see so many people doing the same as I. Point is we tend to see people drinking coz we are / were addicted to it. We don't see people smoking if it's not our drug.
Please read Allan Cars easy way to control alcohol . I found it really helping in setting right prospective on alcohol.
