462- Addiction & traumas : Why I gave up alcomahol (long ago)

I used one of my photos and edited in artistically, as I don't wish to trigger anyone with a photo pertaining directly to the topic at hand

As it's been over 4 years since entry 338 and 6 since entry 130, I'm sure you'd have forgotten that I had explained that part of my life in my father's religious cult included being given drugs as part of 'coming closer to god' claims he had, and which were actually part of his tools in maintaining control and grip of his followers, including me. 

I recall that for a time, I had withdrawal symptoms and know therefore that in the course of his giving these to me, I had developed an addiction, which luckily for me, is far gone and part of my distant past.
