Wueeeh pips got stories. As much as is a good reason 2 be a drunk it has made me know men are never 2 be trusted 4 nothing coz am like if it really is as bad as they say a disease,how come many women as men don't go that way?!. Personally I feel men have been babied like 4ever thru the generations plus their role in the society has been.played down so much such that they even feel.obligated 2 misbehave and waste themselves + many others r empowered ( e.g. when the women would report to his mother only,also the mother just commenting no action taken immediately watching the son go down low, wamama wa soko nyama inakanyagwa na anaenda kureport badala kumkulisha nyaunyo,Karumaido lady having mercy on him and returning the pho e yet she is working with her body) 2 even continue in their way ward ways. I feel nothing 4 those who chose 2 be rude and love the excess coz I know each one of us is fighting their own demons. Why can't men fight,how do women fight yet they pass thru 200% more than a male can pass thru in life. They r a let down and tiz time men stood up and manned up and took they positions esp. Black men and protect the society not this B S they give us. 👏👏 4 him if he changed,Lord have mercy on all females.in the world. Men Wang'ang'ane. Lynn U C if females become credible enough and are no nonsense material from mothers 2 lovers men would straighten up coz they will have no loop hole so watatii na society Itatulia poa sana,then all the SUBMISSIVENESS THEY KEEP LOOKING 4 FROM FEMALES WILL LAND AUTOMATICALLY. JUU angalia si mababa,mabroh,macousins,friends of our bro's, family males,strangers,neighbour men wanasumbua na ata sheria haiwashughulikii vilivyo. I beleive sheria ikiwa poa,society itabalance vizuuuri but they say( I DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE🙄😕🤔) " IT'S A MAN's WORLD. Sasa warun world yao coz this type r the majority we got left. Just saying.

Asante sana Chris for sharing your story. It must have been very difficult to gather the courage to speak out on your addiction journey. Everyone who will listen to you, they will learn. I pray that God protects you and showers you with many blessings. May God keep you sober and strong for ever. 🙏🏿 You are the voice to many who are suffering in silence. Each one of us knows somebody who has an addiction, be it in the family, or friend's circle. Most of us who call ourselves casual or social drinkers, let's check our drinking habits and watch for the warning signs. There is a very thin line between an addict and an occasional user. Thank you Chris and God bless you 🙏🏿

Lynn am seeing my brother seated with you. He started drinking after losing his job. He has young babies but he drinks like shit. He tells me he wants to commit suicide and because am tired of his behaviors, I have always given him ago a head. He is such a stress to the big hearted wife and the children. He blames me for not helping. I have tried the much I can. I even want him to go to a rehab even though I can't afford now I was told 3 months is 150k. I am dedicatedly watching this so that I can learn and see how to help my brother. Lynne I am tired and his family is tired too. Relatives do not care about his actions even our Dad even though mom is late buy he is old enough to man up. I wish I would learn to help him. I have not lost hope yet but I am tired Lynne.

[@enolelasoitameno4094]

Lynn, this is a touching story. Somebody's real life. I feel for the parents of such children. Iam a victim of this situation and I can say, it is only through God's grace to come out of such a life. I have a daughter, who is exactly the same story of Chris. But the girl started when in form 2, stealing money from parents and after form 4 she became worst, running away from home for days. Sometimes, getting herself into the wrong hands of the law....arrested...being call at night to confirm whether, we know her. When we asked what's her problem, she said she wanted to be taken to rehab. We took her for 6months after coming out, no improvement she became even bad and we thought of returning her to rehab far away. We took her to a rehab for 14months. She came out better and went back again. We decided to leave her. We now concentrated in praying and fasting for sometimes. God is gracious and when we call on His name, He is never late to answer. The girl changed and change completely and now a good girl hustling for her life. Such real stories motivates someone who is trying to come out of it. May God bless Chris as he embark on his life. There should be no regret but thank God for preserving your life. My cry always was, God don't let my daughter die in sins and God is faithfully.

I know this gentleman back from Moi,happy to hear he reformed .i can relate with what he went through .I was hooked to alcoholism for almost 20 yrs but Jesus saved me 11 years ago while working and living in dubai,Amen.

[@kadzoandJoe]

Visiting Kenya last year after twenty years, I noticed alcohol is so glamourised (made up word 🙈). It's on billboards, TV commercials, etc.) I felt very sad. Young people find it very attractive to drink. When I went to the village in Nakuru for my mother's memorial, I was very saddened by the amount of young people lost in alcoholism 😢. I saw young people unconscious by the roadside, I thought they were dead!! But was told they were drunk. I have cousins hooked on alcohol, some died from it 😭😭. I hope something will be done. Here in Ireland, people lost their lives from road accidents due to drink driving. It was a great crisis and the government banned alcohol advertising on billboards and media. The government also sanctioned times alcohol to be bought and served in pubs to 10am-10pn. You cannot buy alcohol anywhere in Ireland outside these times. Because of these measures, death rates on the roads have reduced by a great percentage. A lot of people stopped drinking and majority cannot stand alcoholism. Young people in Kenya and everywhere else in the world need to learn you can have fun without alcohol. You can heal without alcohol. Keep active in sports, community engagement, training, volunteer work, innovation activities, music, dancing, prayer etc. God bless my country Kenya 🙏🏾.

[@antonymugambi389]

Great post Kadzo. It's interesting to note that Ireland once had to deal with the same challenge but they managed to overcome it. I believe there's hope for our young people as well. The problem with alcoholism is that it's tied up with so many other issues such as unemployment and poverty. Dealing with it is akin to walking on a tight rope because anything can trigger back the habit. These many issues need to be addressed too if we have to deal this scourge a defeating blow. I feel there's opportunity available for us all to make a lasting change. For example, donating to organisations that help alcohol addicts, supporting community based businesses or initiatives etc.

I've had a tough one while growing up never experienced the parental love and that made me hate myself alot. I've been bullied so.much has happened that made me really hate myself and reasons i never have friends always a solo walker.I lost everything including my kids but i started over again.I wish we could have an AA whatsapp group for us to confide in each other and support others too.

Kwanza sisi kulikua na siku hungewai lala dorm ata the form three and form four would sneak out in the night on Friday to a shopping centre go drink and even sleep with ladies of the night. And upon coming back usiku wanagonga mabox na miti na machupa wanawaamsha muwaimbie na mdance . Heeeee weee nakwambia how I survived all this is God. We umelala unashtukia umeamshwa na ubaya either uendee maji Kwa bafu wife miguu ama uwaoshe nguo . Some of those I was at high school with didn't make it to form four without inheriting the habit . I remember loosing a guys trouser ente alikua ameniambia nimuoshe na nimuangalilie hadi ikauke. Weeee nliona Moto, he would call me every evening and abuse me some times threatenbto beat me and some times beat me up . My God Lynn . I didn't go to school in the 90s like he did but back when I was at high school it was baaad.

Alcoholism is a pandemic I have seen people very close tome getting destroyed by it ..the moment I came to understand that all addictions have an underlying trauma I stopped judging.I just hope one day they will decide enough is enough.

[@margiekamande4795]

I love how he tells his story with lots of humor. The fact that he came out from all of that, it shows how God can save his people. This is so encouraging!

[@mzuribeauty4287]

This is so helpful to the whole community more so being shared by a man. Most families have or had a drinking member

[@linetmbugua9785]

Young people are really getting into alcoholism especially in campus. I've seen people we got admitted in campus with first year but by the time they are in fourth year they cannot do without the alcohol even to an extent of shaking. I kept on wondering why on earth we had bars in campus premises... Alcohol has brought more harm than good 😔

[@lennysam4126]

[@annwandia1632]

Alcoholism is a real issue in our society and funny enough most people don't know they are addicts cos unlike Chris they don't shake or remove "lock " n it's important to bring such real conversations affecting so many people. Thankyou Chris and I thank God for your restoration.

[@TheFrancesZachary]

@Lynn Ngugi, please talk with Justus from moments with justus, and get David Ogot to talk about alcoholism, and addictions he is the grand maestro on this topic.

[@NileGoddess]

My Ex was an alcoholic,it was normal in his family and in Kisii land people drink to a stupor ,what a bad upbringing,children learn from their environment.I choose to leave after trying to stay .It’s the worst thing you can experience .It takes a strong heart to stay with such a person especially if they are sleeping around with many women,you can get sick from anything he gets from other people.Sometimes you have to walk away and pray they change their ways and help themselves.I am glad he found his way,many get lost in that dark world.

[@Anne-rh8rn]

I can relate to every word here but there's no hope for change. Though I hope he does some day. But I left because it was too much to handle.

[@NileGoddess]

@@Anne-rh8rn never changed 20 years later.He messed up his generation for life and lost his children.I have to care for our three daughters all alone from pregnancy,l,thank God they are 19 now ,but they don’t want anything to ever do with him.They are traumatized to see any adult drink alcohol.

[@Anne-rh8rn]

@@NileGoddess I'm so sorry this happened to you. No one ever talks of the emotional damage that's caused by having to deal with an alcoholic & promiscuous partner it's quite draining and it takes a lot of courage to finally walk away for your own sanity. Proud of you mum I'm sure your children are too.

@@Anne-rh8rn Thank you Sis.It messed me up a lot and we all suffer the consequences,they say heal lol it’s not that easy it needs a lot of therapy and counselling but we are working hard on it.Thank you for replying and I wish you the best in all that you do.God bless you.
