Why I wrote my first book
This is why I wrote my first book How To Control Your Alcohol Consumption
Many people drank too much as teenagers, I was no different but my heavy drinking dragged on into adulthood.
It was a big problem for me for many years. A lot of my overdrinking was down to low self esteem and peer pressure; always trying to 'keep up' with my fellow drinkers; finishing a pint because someone bought it for me and it would be disrespectful not to; having another because your so called friends laugh at you if you don't.
I also came out of my shell after a few drinks, I was so shy and nervous when I was sober, I had virtually no confidence, even in my late twenties.
Quote from book "A SENSE OF EUPHORIA AND A DECREASE IN ANXIETY CAN BOOST SOME PEOPLE'S PERCEPTION OF THEMSELVES OR THOSE AROUND THEM WHICH IS WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE FUN DRUNKS OR APPEAR TO BE."
I had some lousy mates who didn't care for anything I said so I wouldn't speak and would drink faster. I wouldn't enjoy their company, I would get bored and drink more. Very rarely did they notice that something was wrong. At one point my #selfesteem was so low that I would overdrink on purpose to #selfharm.
My overdrinking history is very much related to mental health.
Quote from book "JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS LESS ANXIOUS WHILE DRINKING DOESN'T MEAN THEIR ANXIETY IS CURED"
These bad times are all water under the bridge now, I'm not that sad young person anymore, and I neither know nor care what's happened to those so called mates, but the subject still remains close to my heart and this is why I wrote this book, I'm not a doctor. Also, there are so many people who haven't been so lucky as to find inner peace or learn to control their drinking.
There are many reasons why we might overdrink, not just #mentalhealth reasons, and many of them are described here. You might find that you're guilty of some of them yourself 🙂.
This book isn't my story, it's a self help guide covering different aspects equally. So if you do decide to read my book, I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.

You mean "alcohol momentarily reduces anxiety, but increases the potential for anxiety because it weakens the nerves", Mr. Jason. In nerve weakness, emotions are experienced exaggerated in this way.
