LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE.


I am a counsellor and I'm also a health consultant. Sometimes that means there's a two for one deal; and with alcoholics, I'm trying to use this to help them cure their ills. Mostly, it starts by acknowledging that there is indeed a problem. Once that is done, the next thing to think about is, do I really want to do something about it? Because sometimes, the solution is more daunting than having the problem, and some people would rather endure the problem, than undergo the solution. Until they hit rock bottom that is, and there is nowhere else to go. Even then, for some, the solution is still not a problem. Those are usually found dead in a gutter somewhere, or hanging from a rope in a dingy one-room, or something equally tragic.
However, if one is not of this disposition, and would like to nip that problem in the butt, before it kills you; there is a way - its not easy, its not quick, its effective. It needs you to reach out and ask for it.
