Alcohol (or drug) misuse may provide short term relief from stressful issues & relationships. Longer term misuse & abuse usually creates further problems & risks.

It is possible to face upsetting distressing painful experiences & events without alcohol or drugs.

If you’re concerned you may be using a substance to avoid problems this may be the time to consider seeking help.

Practice the pause.

Pause before taking the bait. Pause before playing their game. Pause before emotions take over. Pause before you feel enraged. Pause to observe their anticipated pleasure or cruelty. Pause before you feel regret.

—————————————————————————

Practice the pause -

Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you’re about to react harshly and you’ll avoid doing and saying things you’ll later regret. ~ Lori Deschene
