I knew it was bad but it worked in shutting out the world. I knew smoking was bad but I did it a lot anyway. Only when I found a way to be happy without the filter was I able to think about it.

I remember when I just quit I couldn't form words my brain was so shocked with alcohol. It is amazing how the brain and body heal themselves after time passes. But yes I was killing myself and I couldn't stop. It was a nightmare

The video in the article was very informative. I just knew today alcohol damages that part of our brain that is responsible for our thinking and making decisions. Well, that's why we made bad decisions before. It's really amazing how we get snapped of it, by God's grace.

Wow Burning. That is one scary article especially since I am going back to college soon. I guess its what they call 'wet brain' but I hope I haven't killed too many brain cells. Thanks for sharing that article.

I appreciate the article Burning Man. I am finally getting down the job skills at my new place of employment and this information explains a lot of why I have been struggling to get ti down.
