A Young Male Requires Treatment For His Intense Depression, Relationship Issues, and For His Drug Dependency and Alcoholism in Order to Discover Happiness in His Life
About eight months ago I had dinner with a thirty-one-year-old male named Alexander who suffers from extreme depression, has relationship issues, and who is drug and alcohol dependent. As declared by Alexander, it is his alcoholism and drug addiction and his severe depression that had the most to do with his endless relationship difficulties.
I recall reading that a history of mental health issues, drug addiction, and careless and abusive drinking frequently take place in the same family. What is more, I have read that under such circumstances, an individual needs to get treatment for both medical problems and that dependency and mental health problems frequently occur in the same individual.

Life isn’t the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere – “How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life?” Then I pause and observed for awhile… I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called ‘self’.
So, how does one become genuinely happy? Step 1 is to love yourself.
My theology professor once said that “loving means accepting.” To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the imperfections must lie a great ounce of courage to be able to discover ways on how to improve your repertoire to recover from our mistakes.
Genuine happiness also pertains to contentment. When you are contented with the job you have, the way you look, with your family, your friends, the place you live in, your car, and all the things you now have – truly, you know the answer to
