Question from Readers:
It seems that Tanaka Kei has declared he will stop drinking, but can we really trust this?
About the Declaration of Sobriety and Its Credibility
Recently, I came across news that Tanaka Kei has declared a commitment to sobriety. To be honest, I have my doubts about whether this can truly be trusted. There have been many cases
in the past where individuals declared they would stop drinking, only to return to their old habits. As a legal professional, I have witnessed various life stories, and I believe that the motivation behind declaring sobriety largely stems from personal willpower. It’s true that many people encounter failures due to alcohol consumption. However, at the core of these issues often lies one’s own weaknesses and challenges with self-management. While it’s undeniable that a celebrity like Tanaka Kei declaring sobriety can create expectations and pressure from those around him, I do wonder how much this will actually strengthen his resolve.
The Importance of Accepting One’s Weaknesses
Personally, I believe it’s important for humans to accept their own weaknesses. For example, when I worked part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, some clients faced troubles due to alcohol. One day, a client had a major argument while intoxicated, which ultimately led to legal issues. At that time, I engaged in a discussion about whether it was the alcohol that was to blame or rather his own actions. He believed his behavior was caused by alcohol, but in reality, the issue stemmed from his own choices. Alcohol is merely a tool; ultimately, it is one’s own will that determines the outcome. Therefore, while declaring sobriety is a positive step, whether or not it is followed through depends entirely on the individual’s determination.
Lastly, I’d Love to Hear Your Thoughts
That’s my perspective on the declaration of sobriety, but what do you think? If anyone has attempted sobriety in the past or has success stories to share, please do comment. By sharing our experiences, we might gain new insights. I look forward to reading your comments!
