Sometimes in social situations,
it's hard to regulate
yourself with alcohol.
because of this
environment that we create.
You don't have to
remove yourself
from these social situations
to put yourself first
or to regulate your drinking.
The tools that I've learned
with this PTSD and alcohol study
has enabled me to thrive
in these environments,
while still
regulating within myself
and when other people
try to peer pressure
into drinking or taking shots or
playing drinking games,
I am able to
confidently navigate
these social situations
while still being true to myself
and still being aware of what
my limits are, but
still enjoy these environments.
I'm very thankful for
the skills I've learned
so that I can
still maximize my time
with my brothers
and sisters in arms
in a fun way.
Work hard, play hard,
but also still be
safe and smart about it as well.
