Alcoholocide gives a name to a tragedy that has been ignored for too long.

"Alcoholocide describes preventable deaths caused not only by alcohol dependency, but by the conditions surrounding it: stigma, inequality, cultural silence, inaccessible treatment and systems that repeatedly fail to intervene."

Alcoholocide - It is a silent epidemic that has already claimed too many lives and continues to leave families and communities carrying the consequences.

Full article; Unveiling Alcoholocide in South Asian Communities in the UK can be accessed on the internet.

is a social awareness term and campaign hashtag coined to highlight the devastating, preventable toll of alcohol-related harms and fatalities, particularly within vulnerable populations

WE MADE IT OUT. God was watching. Thirty years on, not a day goes by without a tear of joy in my heart for the 'gift of recovery'. Another chance at life.❤️🙏

Made it back from the unspeakable dark.
Give thanks for another day, another night and another daily opportunity to say 'I love you' to my mum and my children. Recovery is life itself; powerful; those who get it, know it's power. We live. We do recover. Recovery is possible.

Regular use of p**n often causes depression, dopamine imbalance, lethargy, social and emotional dysfunctions, and even erectile dysfunction.© Addiction Actually

We say ′′ use ′′ of p**n, because its very like a harmful drug.

P**n use affects the brain exactly like drugs.

A brief, superficial scientific explanation is that watching p**n creates an excessive amount of dopamine in the brain, that ricochets around the body like a pinball.

This leads to rapid and intense gratification, but then falls, plummeting like a rollercoaster in freefall, leading to a dopamine deficit, a period of depression and lethargy - which leads us to more ....and more and more.

To become a little more esoteric, or**sm can be the most generative, healing, creative, or the most draining and exhausting act.

When you're in contact with a partner, you exchange energy, you bond with each other.

When you're connected to an image on a screen, you send your life force outwards and away from yourself.

It really is s*x with ourselves. Which may be okay - in moderation. But addicts don't or can't moderate. Loss of control is the issue, as with drugs/alcohol.

The question is, where is this energy going?

Who or what feeds on the almost incomprehensible amount of s*xual energy millions of people send to ethers every day?

It only exists because it's fed in abundance... what do you think you're bound to (addiction means to adhere to) to when you ma******te with that p**nstar?

Why do you think this is so hard to stop?

Think of the scene in 'The Matrix' where Neo awakens to see thousands of comatose human beings, becoming food for dark forces.

This is the perfect representation of what we're describing.

Isn't it interesting that p**n is almost the only thing we can consume for free?

Like any good drug dealer, we are lured with a free sample.

Nothing is free - you become another food source for a parasitic entity.

Instead of arguing and discussing mutual origins and moral issues maybe we can start to see that we were all equally played by a much bigger and relatively invisible force from behind the scenes - living off our confusion and conflicts.

P**n itself isn't the enemy, it isn't even harmful. moderation harms fewer

However this page is all about addiction and all addictions are harmful in different ways to self and others.

Think of the time, the opportunity cost of what doesn't get done..the not showing up in relationships.. and the rest..

There was a time when I didn’t think about consequences. I just drank… used… repeated.

Every day smaller than the last.

Every night darker.

That life didn’t just hurt me—it erased me.

I lost things I can’t get back. Time. People. Pieces of myself I don’t even remember clearly anymore.

I wouldn’t wish that existence on anyone.

I’ve been free from substances for 11 years now… and I know exactly how fragile that is. Because for me, there’s no such thing as a small relapse. No reset. No second chance.
If I go back… I don’t come back.

So I live with that truth. Every day. Quietly. Carefully.
I remember what it was. I remember what it did.

And whatever it takes to stay away from it… I do it.”
