Why They Ride.

#Substanceabuse and #domesticviolence was just a normal thing to me growing up.
Ya don't know its a problem until you get older and can see things in a better light.

Figured we'd try to get this up for the #soberoctober tag fest lol
In this video I talk very briefly about my struggle with alcohol and some of the reasons I became an alcoholic. PTSD, anxiety, depression, adhd, trauma... the list goes on and on. All of these things are usually related in some way or another...
If your traumatized you're left with anxiety and depression.
Doctors say to take pills cause that'll help. Maybe it helps for a little. But theres a reason your feeling the way you feel.
Your unexplained hives.... tremors, back- neck pain... not getting good sleep at night... always angry or annoyed. Feeling like the world is against you and you're the only one who's paying attention to anything....

Its all coming form that inner child.. the one who's hurt and trying to get help. All those restless nights, panic attacks, mind never on track... well because part of you is always trying to run away... get away from whats not good for you.

Most of what troubles us is damn near impossible to discover without us talking about it, writing about it, sharing our experiences with others.

When soldiers got back from war, the world was lame. They spend months or years in a hectic violent place. When they came home, they NEEDED more. They NEEDED a motorcycle. People already hated motorcycles.... why not hop on one and get the fuck away from people as fast as possible... They didn't, couldn't understand why these ptsd riddle men have gone through... nor would they ever take the time to stop and think....
Yeah I get why he rides that thing at 180... Its the only way his brain shuts the fuck up because he's almost died 100 times.
Life beame so boring compared to the craziness we were dealing with before.

Took me 4 years of drinking every day to get sober. But I'm sure glad I did it.
Drinking is just so damn toxic on so many levels....
never saw a man smoke a bong and then get arrested.....
seen countless drunk people get arrested... I digress
domestic violence is bs, child neglect is bs and substance abuse is bs when its ruing the lives of the ones your supposed to care about.

IF your struggling with mental health issues, addiction or just going through a rough patch... Let us know about it. We can get to greater mindsets and greater sobriety together!
