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 hereโฆ but it makes people less resilient overall.
In these moments of my life, everything in my world halts. I donโt even hear the music. Itโs 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.
