From Binge to Blackout: A Mother and Son Struggle with Teen Drinking As the sun set over the horizon, Chris Volkmann watched her son, Toren, stumble out of the house, laughing and joking with his friends, ready to embark on another wild night of partying. She had seen this scene countless times before, but this time, something felt different. The bright-eyed, bushy-tailed college freshman she once knew had transformed into a shell of his former self - a shadow of the young man he used to be. His eyes were sunken, his skin sallow, and his once-lively spirit had given way to apathy and lethargy. Chris couldn't ignore the signs any longer - Toren had become an alcoholic. The party culture had consumed him, and he was not alone. Teenage drinking had reached epidemic proportions, threatening to destroy the lives of young adults and their families across America. As a mother, Chris felt powerless against the grip of addiction that had taken hold of her son. She knew she needed to act, but the fear of failure and the denial that had plagued her for so long kept her from confronting the issue head-on. Toren, too, was aware of his problem, but he struggled to overcome it.
From Binge to Blackout: A Mother and Son Struggle with Teen Drinking Когда солнце зашло за горизонт, Крис Фолькманн наблюдала, как ее сын, Торен, споткнулся из дома, смеясь и шутя со своими друзьями, готовыми отправиться в еще одну дикую ночь вечеринок. До этого она видела эту сцену бесчисленное количество раз, но на этот раз что-то ощущалось иначе. Светлоглазый пушистохвостый первокурсник колледжа, которого она когда-то знала, превратился в оболочку своего прежнего я - тень молодого человека, которым он был раньше. Его глаза запали, кожа поникла, а некогда живой дух сменился апатией и вялостью. Крис больше не мог игнорировать знаки - Торен стал алкоголиком. Партийная культура поглотила его, и он был не один. Подростковое пьянство достигло масштабов эпидемии, угрожая разрушить жизнь молодых людей и их семей по всей Америке. Будучи матерью, Крис чувствовала себя бессильной перед тисками зависимости, которые овладели её сыном. Она знала, что ей нужно действовать, но страх неудачи и отрицание, которые преследовали ее так долго, удерживали ее от столкновения с проблемой в лоб. Торен тоже знал о своей проблеме, но изо всех сил пытался ее преодолеть.
From Binge to Blackout : A Mother and Son Struggle with Teen Drinking Quand le soleil s'est levé au-delà de l'horizon, Chris Volkmann a vu son fils, Thoren, trébucher hors de la maison en riant et en plaisantant avec ses amis prêts à partir pour une autre soirée sauvage. Avant cela, elle a vu cette scène d'innombrables fois, mais cette fois quelque chose a été ressenti différemment. La brillante première année de l'université, qu'elle connaissait autrefois, s'est transformée en coquille de son ancien moi, l'ombre d'un jeune homme qu'il était. Ses yeux s'estompaient, sa peau s'affaissait, et son esprit autrefois vivant était remplacé par l'apathie et la léthargie. Chris ne pouvait plus ignorer les signes - Thoren est devenu alcoolique. La culture du parti l'a absorbé, et il n'était pas seul. L'ivrognerie juvénile a atteint des proportions épidémiques, menaçant de détruire la vie des jeunes et de leur famille dans toute l'Amérique. En tant que mère, Chris se sentait impuissante devant les griffes de dépendance que son fils avait prises. Elle savait qu'elle devait agir, mais la peur de l'échec et le déni qui la hantait depuis si longtemps l'ont empêchée de se heurter au problème. Thoren aussi était au courant de son problème, mais il avait du mal à le surmonter.
From Binge to Blackout: A Mother and Son Struggle with Teen Drinking Cuando el sol se puso más allá del horizonte, Chris Volkmann vio cómo su hijo, Thoren, tropezaba desde su casa, riendo y bromeando con sus amigos listos para ir a otra noche salvaje de fiestas. Antes de eso, había visto esta escena en innumerables ocasiones, pero esta vez algo se sentía diferente. Un estudiante universitario de primer año, de ojos claros, que una vez conoció, se convirtió en el caparazón de su ser anterior, la sombra del joven que era antes. Sus ojos de mecha, su piel de pónico, y su espíritu otrora vivo, fueron reemplazados por la apatía y el letargo. Chris ya no podía ignorar las señales - Thoren se convirtió en alcohólico. La cultura del partido lo absorbió y no estaba solo. La embriaguez adolescente ha alcanzado proporciones epidémicas, amenazando con destruir la vida de los jóvenes y sus familias en toda América. Como madre, Chris se sintió impotente ante los antojos de adicción que tomó posesión de su hijo. Sabía que necesitaba actuar, pero el miedo al fracaso y la negación que la acosaba durante tanto tiempo la impedían enfrentarse al problema de frente. Thoren también sabía de su problema, pero luchó por superarlo.
From Binge to Blackout: A Mother and Son Struggle with Teen Drinking Quando il sole è andato oltre l'orizzonte, Chris Folkmann ha visto suo figlio, Thoren, inciampare fuori di casa ridendo e scherzando con i suoi amici pronti a partire per un'altra notte selvaggia di feste. Prima ha visto questa scena innumerevoli volte, ma questa volta qualcosa si è sentito diversamente. La matricola lucida e pelosa del college, che una volta conosceva, si è trasformata nel guscio del suo vecchio me, l'ombra di un giovane che era. Gli occhi si sono innervositi, la pelle si è abbassata, e un tempo lo spirito vivente ha cambiato apatia e flatulenza. Chris non poteva più ignorare i segni. Thoren è diventato un alcolizzato. La cultura del partito l'ha consumato e non era da solo. L'ebbrezza adolescenziale ha raggiunto la portata dell'epidemia, minacciando di distruggere la vita dei giovani e delle loro famiglie in tutta l'America. Da madre, Chris si sentiva impotente davanti alle sofferenze di dipendenza che avevano preso possesso di suo figlio. Sapeva di dover agire, ma la paura del fallimento e la negazione che l'ha perseguitata per così tanto tempo l'hanno tenuta lontana da un problema in testa. Anche Thoren sapeva del suo problema, ma ha cercato di superarlo.
Von Binge bis Blackout: Eine Mutter und Son Struggle mit Teen Drinking Als die Sonne hinter dem Horizont unterging, beobachtete Chris Volkmann, wie ihr Sohn Thoren lachend und scherzend aus dem Haus stolperte und mit seinen Freunden zu einer weiteren wilden Partynacht aufbrach. Zuvor hatte sie diese Szene unzählige Male gesehen, doch diesmal fühlte sich etwas anders an. Der helläugige, flauschige Studienanfänger, den sie einst kannte, verwandelte sich in die Hülle ihres früheren Ich - den Schatten des jungen Mannes, der er früher war. Seine Augen sanken, seine Haut senkte sich, und der einst lebendige Geist wurde durch Apathie und thargie ersetzt. Chris konnte die Zeichen nicht mehr ignorieren - Thoren wurde Alkoholiker. Die Parteikultur hat ihn verschlungen, und er war nicht allein. Teenager-Trunkenheit hat epidemische Ausmaße angenommen und droht, das ben junger Menschen und ihrer Familien in ganz Amerika zu zerstören. Als Mutter fühlte sich Chris machtlos gegenüber dem Griff der Sucht, der ihren Sohn in Besitz nahm. e wusste, dass sie handeln musste, aber die Angst vor dem Scheitern und die Verleugnung, die sie so lange geplagt hatten, hielten sie davon ab, dem Problem frontal zu begegnen. Thoren war sich auch seines Problems bewusst, kämpfte aber darum, es zu überwinden.

From Binge to Blackout: A Mother and Son Struggle with Teen Drinking Güneş ufukta batarken Chris Volkmann, oğlu Thoren'in evden sendeleyerek çıktığını, arkadaşlarıyla birlikte gülüp şakalaşarak başka bir vahşi parti gecesine başlamaya hazır olduğunu izledi. Sahneyi daha önce sayısız kez görmüştü, ama bu sefer bir şeyler farklıydı. Bir zamanlar tanıdığı parlak gözlü, bulanık kuyruklu üniversite birinci sınıf öğrencisi, eski benliğinin bir kabuğu haline gelmişti - eskiden olduğu genç adamın gölgesi. Gözleri battı, derisi düştü ve bir zamanlar canlı ruhu ilgisizliğe ve uyuşukluğa yol açtı. Chris artık işaretleri görmezden gelemezdi - Toren bir alkolik olmuştu. Parti kültürü onu tüketti ve yalnız değildi. Gençlerin içki içmesi salgın boyutlara ulaştı ve Amerika'daki gençlerin ve ailelerinin hayatlarını yok etmekle tehdit ediyor. Bir anne olarak Chris, oğluna hakim olan bağımlılığın pençesinde güçsüz hissetti. Harekete geçmesi gerektiğini biliyordu, ancak onu bu kadar uzun süredir rahatsız eden başarısızlık ve inkar korkusu, onu sorunla yüzleşmekten alıkoydu. Thoren de kendi sorununun farkındaydı, ama üstesinden gelmek için mücadele etti.
من الشراهة إلى التعتيم: صراع الأم والابن مع شرب المراهقين مع غروب الشمس في الأفق، شاهد كريس فولكمان ابنها، ثورين، يتعثر خارج المنزل، يضحك ويمزح مع أصدقائه المستعدين للشروع في ليلة صاخبة أخرى من الحفلات. لقد شاهدت المشهد مرات لا تحصى من قبل، لكن هذه المرة شعرت بشيء مختلف. الطالبة الجامعية ذات العيون الزاهية والغامضة الذيل التي عرفتها ذات مرة أصبحت صدفة لنفسها السابقة - ظل الشاب الذي اعتاد أن يكون. غرقت عيناه، وتدلى جلده، وأفسحت روحه المفعمة بالحيوية المجال لللامبالاة والخمول. لم يعد بإمكان كريس تجاهل العلامات - فقد أصبح تورين مدمنًا على الكحول. استهلكته ثقافة الحزب، ولم يكن وحده. وصل شرب المراهقين إلى أبعاد وبائية، مما يهدد بتدمير حياة الشباب وعائلاتهم في جميع أنحاء أمريكا. كأم، شعرت كريس بالعجز في قبضة الإدمان التي أتقنت ابنها. كانت تعلم أنها يجب أن تتصرف، لكن الخوف من الفشل والإنكار الذي طاردها لفترة طويلة منعها من مواجهة المشكلة وجهاً لوجه. كان ثورين على دراية بمشكلته أيضًا، لكنه كافح للتغلب عليها.
