Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

Clutter doesn’t just make your home look icky and run less efficiently, I will point out the specific reasons why clutter can cause mental anxiety and stress. Clutter to me is a visual explosion, it is loud and very distracting. I cannot focus in a cluttered environment whether in a home, a store, or any venue. This may be why I detest crowds and I avoid shopping in large brick-and-mortar stores.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
