It takes guts to survive these times. So many people are suffering and struggling. The stress and strain it causes in family relationships shouldn't be overlooked.
Someone who was recently affected by the downsizing in his company has turned to alcohol to ease the pain as he has to deal with a nagging partner each day supplies in the home depletes with little or no hope to restock. He has taken to doing odd jobs just to make ends meet. Yet the jobs are nor regular. I hope this ends soon.Â
But drinking alcoholic things is not the solution. Yes, yes most of us do this drinking when we are in pain or loss. I also do this when I lose my job due to a pandemic. My mind was very negative at that time, and I was drinking a lot, but I just realized that it was useless. I need to find a job that is better than my previous work. That is the time when new doors open to me, and yes, it is better than my previous work. I know it hurts, but we need to stand up and look for other opportunities, as there are many out there just waiting for us.
And not only that alcoholic drinks are very expensive, and while it could be understood that sometimes people need to let go of their negative feelings in some way or another, it is a mistake to use alcohol for this as it will only make your problems much worse, the truth is that even if you have the best intentions and the majority is willing to work hard to get through the crisis, there are not enough jobs or the pay is nowhere near to sustain yourself and your family, so it is easy to see why some people are getting desperate as there does not seem to be a solution to their problems.
