It’s a real shame that this beautiful young woman is sliding into alcoholism! I don’t know how many beers she drinks every night, but the amount is astronomical! Sometimes you can see trash bags full of empty cans on the balcony, it looks like the rubbish from a pub on a Saturday night!
Naturally, with a routine like that, she’s gaining weight visibly; she’s at risk of serious health problems if she keeps going down this road to hell!

Some people who fall into alcohol abuse never believe they have a problem and won’t see their faults until they hit rock bottom, realizing too late that they’ve lost their battle with their demons.

I have personally been down that road. I spent 20 long years as a full-blown alcoholic battling demons, ignoring advice from friends and family to get help by going to AA or go to rehab to dry out, and just kept drinking regardless. It wasn’t until my drinking buddies started dying off like flies that I realized it wasn’t worth it and decided to turn my life around. I've now been alcohol-free for just over 30 years, though some minor health issues from my past abuse crept up on me, but they’re manageable and under control.

The only reason I’m still alive is that heavens not prepared for my arrival, and hells terrified I’ll end up running the place.

Certaines personnes qui sombrent dans l'alcoolisme ne croient jamais avoir un problème et ne voient leurs défauts qu'une fois au plus bas, réalisant trop tard qu'elles ont perdu leur bataille contre leurs démons.

J'ai moi-même vécu cette situation. Pendant vingt longues années, j'ai été un alcoolique invétéré, luttant contre mes démons, ignorant les conseils de mes proches qui me recommandaient de me faire aider par les Alcooliques Anonymes ou une cure de désintoxication. Je continuais à boire, coûte que coûte. Ce n'est que lorsque mes compagnons de beuverie ont commencé à mourir les uns après les autres que j'ai compris que cela n'en valait pas la peine et que j'ai décidé de changer de vie. Je suis maintenant sobre depuis un peu plus de trente ans. Quelques problèmes de santé mineurs, liés à mes abus passés, ont refait surface, mais ils sont gérables et sous contrôle.

La seule raison pour laquelle je suis encore en vie, c'est que le ciel n'était pas préparé à mon arrivée et que l'enfer est terrifié à l'idée que je finisse par diriger les lieux.

Yes, I completely agree, and I admire your redemption!
There are different forms of alcoholism—sometimes it stems from a hard knock in life, deep unhappiness, or the loss of a loved one...
But there is also that festive way of drinking when you're young—starting out as a way to party before hitting the clubs or hanging out with friends. Yet, sometimes, that consumption—initially controlled and limited to weekends—ends up happening every day of the week, from morning till night. It’s a type of alcoholism that doesn't require a major life crisis; it’s simply a habit that turns into a daily routine, and that is exactly what is happening to Elli! She isn't the only one; we’ve had many participants on RLC who were constantly drinking wine!

I think she's turning into Masha Jr... But Masha at least kept her body... For the most part...
