RE: Dog walk diaries: rock and a hard place

Alcohol is great and I really enjoy my nights out but as my father always told me, "everything in moderation". You can have too much of anything even what we believe to be good for us.

In ireland we have major issues with alcoholism, substance abuse and suicide especially amongst males 20 - 30.

It doesn't take much to go from your Friday night out, to a few after work to being that man in the park. I saw your post and can understand it straight away. Often we find it hard to face the problems in front of us especially younger people who don't understand the world as well. But there are always options and usually help for people if you reach out to the right people.

Hopefully more people can understand this as there is a huge push here at the moment to get people talking and inform them of what can be done rather than trying to bury the problem.

Baby steps into heaven or hell perhaps.

I think that the problem is going to get worse. Not necessarily substance abuse but the luck of world experience in general is going to present in many different ways. The rise of depression is just one of the symptoms.
