F2F Class Notes 6th May (Celeste) [4]

From Step 3

Nowadays, most of the time, we’re under huge pressure that comes from the society, work, and family. These pressures impair our quality of life. Some people will go for alcohol which will definitely impair their vision and judgments. If they are addicted to alcohol, their life will become a mess or turn into a disorder. They will feel shameful with themselves and their parents will feel ashamed too. Therefore, we need to increase our ability to handle pressures, instead of letting them ruin us. I would rather protect myself from pressure and control it, and not let it become strong and out of my control. The first priority would be to streamline my work and life.
