I have never had a drinking problem,and I was only a social drinker when I was in nightclubs. I was influenced by being in the navy where a lot of drinking is common. I got a drunk a few times. I haven't drunk alcoholic beverages since January of 1999.
After I got into Astrology IN 1998, and kept noticing that both ultrasensitivity and alcoholism runs in my family with both strong water and Neptune influences running in my family, I realized that ultrasensitivity and alcoholism are strongly connected to each other. Alcoholism being one of the negativity outlets for ultrasensitivity. I knew that if I continued drinking alcoholic beverages, I could wind up an alcoholic because I am an ultrasensitive person with both strong water and Neptune influence too.

as you see my uncle doesn't have any significant Neptune aspects nor water.
So there has to be other things besides Neptune aspects and strong water influence
Neptune midpoint pictures seem to fill in the blanks. Neptune Nodes could do the same
remember that Neptune configurations manifest according to what a person chooses to do with the Neptune energy.
look at me....I have a so-called afflicted Neptune,and I never had a drinking problem. I have been staying clear away from alcoholic beverages as well as drugs. I don't even take aspirin for a headache. I prefer herbal remedies. Psychiatric medications gave me side effects too,and so I stayed away from them. I found that cod liver oil tones down my hypersensitivity.
