Recent scientific research indicated that there was a correlation between smoking and depression with sufferers more likely to become addicted to Nicotine.
Now, we are all familiar with the link between confidence and alcohol. There is even a phrase for it; Dutch Courage.
And after a few drinks there are not many of us who don't feel more sure of ourselves and confident.
So what is the problem?
Well alcohol, like other illegal drugs is addictive, and the drinker, who wishes to retain that feeling of assuredness and confidence will continue to consume.
Guess what happens next? The alcohol or drugs leads the user to doing and saying things that are out of character and embarrassing. We have all been there I'm sure.
And what happens when this happens each weekend when the drinkers get themselves into situations they would never dream of whilst sober.
It starts to impact their self esteem negatively creating long term damage and is also detrimental both physically and financially.
My advice would be; if you want to improve your confidence long term don't rely on drink and drugs (I know this from personal experience), they only make it far worse.
Cheers
