A consistent effect of alcohol is that, even low to modest consumption disrupts the hypothalamic-adrenal axis and predisposes to more stress (lower stress threshold). No judgement on drinking here⦠but it makes people less resilient overall.
In these moments of my life, everything in my world halts. I donβt even hear the music. Itβs just my mind, body, & the barbell I carry. These moments are about having faith, patience, & commitment in myself & the movement of the barbell I am capable of carrying. Keeps me sane.
