I have a word for someone who might be struggling with alcohol, or addiction. I felt it in my spirit to say this..

Don’t confuse not caring with being happy when you’re drinking. It’s two completely different things.

Alcohol might numb things or quiet the noise for a bit, but it doesn’t make life better. It doesn’t make you more productive, more joyful, or more at peace. It just dulls the parts of you that are begging for healing.

Real happiness comes when you can start showing up for yourself and your family without needing to numb those crucial parts of yourself that make you, you.
