There are good days and there are difficult days. These past days have been more difficult. Life is often stressful with various day to day activities. Things like work, relationship, and finances all have an impact on a person. But when chronic pain is added it makes the ordinary unbearable. The constant ache of shoulders, neck and head is also very tiring and there is little escape from it.
I realize that it has raised eyebrows in the past. But alcohol is an effective “number”. It dials down the over stimulation of work challenges, grief, loss and pain. It is easy to see how one’s way of coping through the use alcohol can become detrimental. Limiting such use is paramount but finding an effective substitute is even more difficult.
I worry, if at this age these are the challenges that are faced. What will the fifties, sixties and beyond look like. Especially when chronic use of NSAID and anti-inflammatory are discouraged.
