The Human Aspect of Tomasz

The alcohol had gotten a hold of me and every time something difficult happened I turned to alcohol to numb my pain. I started a family early, and my life was going well, but I felt shy in social settings and turned to alcohol as it helped me relax. After some years my business started struggling and instead of showing vulnerability I isolated and suppressed my emotions. Again I turned to alcohol, but this time it took over my life, and eventually, my family fell apart. After that, I was denied to see my children, and years later, living in another country, I got the shocking message that my daughter had passed away. The overwhelming grief combined with the challenges of creating a life in a new country pushed me towards alcohol again.
