You can see the Matrix.
You recognize the belief system being proposed by your friends and family, to “benefit” towards pleasure (partly by raising dopamine levels towards entertainment, fun, relaxation, confidence, excitement, etc.). But you can now also identify the illusion behind,.that leads to dependency over a longer period of time: the Matrix does not only benefit pleasure but also correlates with the relief of any pain, while adding more pain, to propose itself again as a pain killer. The pain should be recognized as leftover artifacts from Matrix experiences, discomforts, that are slowly slipping into our life as a side effect by the drug; such as low quality sleeps cycles that people are not aware of: our brains needs to restore/reset in natural ways, but it is being disturbed all the time through alcohol habits loops. Alcohol suppresses REM sleep and shuts it down, your sleep might feel long, but it’s not restful. So, you wake up foggy, irritable, you live behind things before the day even starts. As the fuel of the Matrix is ethanol (poison), your body wants to get rid of it, which can easily takes 7-10 days. The artifact are hidden, but are easily backed up by science as well; people lower their immune system, women raise their risk of breast cancer, men lower their testosterone levels, reducing libido, making them fat. Alcohol dehydrates the skin, alters brain cells, eats away mental spirit. No wonder why alcohol is holding people back and why people loose interest to daily walks or hitting the gym. People feel drained at their default state, by the need to recover (healing) all the time, until, the Matrix is about to propose itself again soon… to cover it all up again.
Alcohol is powerfull by its patience, as it gets more power by your condition towards the belief system over a longer period of time; people raise their belief to alcohol, without knowing that this actually happens to cope with more discomforts that alcohol provides (such as less energy, more anxiety, boredom, loneliness, etc). People ignore and deny that those artifacts comes from a drug (because the drug is also the solution). This leads to a downward spiral, even up to depression: pain is a signal for a reason, to anticipate in life in favor of evolution. Ignoring the artifacts, or even worse adding more of them, means, that you are weakening your future reality, instead of nurturing it (which you already knew instinctively, as you dont repeat alcohol to plants, children, cats… alcohol doesn’t support life, it wants to destroy it! It is only by low dosage over a long time, that nature is able to deal with it (by building tolerance, etc), up to the event horizon. Then depression will scream at you like enough is enough.
