Drinking is bad, mmkay (photo included) Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

This is what can happen when somebody drinks too much at a nightclub, insults a man's girlfriend with some very colorful words and descriptive phrases, and gets the shit beat out of him when his wingmen disappear. Not pictured: arm cast stabling both forearm bones pre-surgical repair as a result of angry boyfriend putting his pointed cowboy boot through left arm while in a fetal position after initial assault. This was the formative life event for me. It steered me away from #alcohol which was a blessing given the #alcoholism present in both sides of my parental lineage. It cost me some friends, and a year of doctor visits including reasonably complicated arm #surgery. Twice. While viewing this photo certainly evokes memories of the physical pain and sense of abandonment associated with that night and the aftermath, I am also #grateful that I was able to use those memories to change my friendship circle, refocus on finishing college, and avoid the inevitable (for me) pitfalls of alcohol. I now look at this photo now and smile as this straightened me out in a way nothing else could. And no DUI or manslaughter charge (which would have happened had I found the assailant). (and yes, I still regret the mustache and haircut) #photo #fight #barfight #gratitude

@fesshole@mastodon.social See your doctor. Do it now. The sooner you take that first step, the less bad the rest of your life will be. #Alcoholism

@Exxxcuseme@mastodon.social @fesshole@mastodon.social I've known too many #alcoholics and suffered for being in their orbit. #Alcoholism is a miserable, frightening, degrading way to live and a horrible way to die. I wouldn't toy with it.
