At a very young age I started drinking alcohol, a problem that was not easy for me to overcome, my father drank and I followed that pattern, besides the fact that at a very young age I had to go out with other young people in my community to look for employment opportunities since there was very little where we lived.
That decision to leave in search of opportunities not only separated me from my family, but also gave me freedom and exposed me to the dangers that proliferate in society and that can involve foolish young people.
From that moment on I tried many things including alcohol, a situation that I could only overcome with my arrival at the feet of Christ. In my country there is a saying that goes like this: "Ni borracho, ni muchacho miente" (Neither drunk, nor boy lies) alluding to the weakness that a drunken man feels to speak, here it is said that "they speak up to their elbows".
Now, it is a very true fact and I am not referring to the veracity of what they usually say, but to the fact that alcohol disinhibits the person and that is how the most introverted when under the effects of alcohol becomes very talkative.
When you are part of a group of drunks you are not aware of how talkative you can be or how disturbing and confusing a gathering of drunks can be and I discovered this a few weeks after I stopped drinking.
A few weeks after I stopped drinking they had a party near my house and by chance I woke up in the early morning, there was no music, there were only drunks in small groups, everyone was trying to talk at the same time and with different topics, a complete confusion, so I think that drinking and talking in some cases is not the best idea.
From this experience I was left with the reflection and the question of how many times I made a fool of myself in the street believing that what I was doing was right.
Let me know what you think!
