Marital satisfaction is related strongly to a couple’s ability to communicate effectively. But heavy alcohol use is associated with more negative and hostile communication, more expressions of anger, and less warmth and unity in the relationship. These factors decrease a couple’s satisfaction in their marriage and create greater tension.
Alcohol abuse increases the feelings of marital distress. Individuals in marriages in which one or both spouses is an alcoholic report higher levels of marital distress or trouble than do married individuals who are not married to alcoholics.
And then morning comes
And you put on a new face
Pretending you know nothing about the damage you’ve caused the night before
You go on and do your thing
Buttering up your prey knowing how you are going to hurt it later on. Knowing how you’re gonna make it cry! Make it suffer!
It’s almost like you get some sick twisted satisfaction out of it.
Knowing that your pal is waiting for until sunset is what gets you through the day.
The devil in the bottle took you away and now I wonder if he’ll ever give you back.
Suddenly none of that matters anymore
Suddenly it’s just you and your pal against the world
Plotting your next disaster
Thinking what you can destroy next
Because the damage you’ve already done is not nearly enough!
The devil in the bottle destroys lives, families and careers.
Yet you are so blind… You don’t see your whole life falling into pieces right in front of your eyes.
You don’t see the hurt you are causing the people you suppose to love.
The damage you are doing to a career that you’ve worked your whole life for
In just one sip… In Just one drop it all becomes nothing. Irrelevant!
You count down the hours till after dark so that you can spend time with him
And when you’re with him you turn into a completely different person
A stranger…
The devil in the bottle took over your life, your body and your mind. He is so powerful that you can’t go a day without him.
He got you hooked on its bitter taste _ and in the end you became just as bitter
So bitter that you don’t even see the beauty in life anymore.
And he has slowly but surely taking over your life… bit by bit… sip by sip… drop by drop… penny by penny!
The devil lives in a bottle
