Flor Amargo broke the silence on his addictions and alcoholism: “The door to hell”

bitter flower has been in the public eye recently, as after he made it known that he identified as a non-binary trans person, social media users and some celebrities went wild strongly against her.

But it was during a broadcast of The minute my destiny changedwhere Flor commented that in the past he had gone through hard times due to alcohol and drugs.

“I suffered one or more suicide attempts, Thank God no, and in the last, my desperate mother, without knowing what to do, admitted me to a psychiatric center for young people, “he told Gustavo Adolfo Infante in front of the cameras.

Likewise, the artist shared that in addition to exceeding the dose he had to take for the mental health treatment he was in, he also started consuming alcoholic beverages and smoking cannabis.

“He prescribed me one, I took three. I discovered marijuana which was the gateway to other drugs. I was 17 when I discovered alcohol and I said to myself: ‘ahere’s the elixir, here’s what I’ve been waiting for'”he pointed out.

Flor Amargo said that being addicted to alcohol was very difficult, as she began to see these drinks as an essential part of her life.

“When you start drinking alcohol, you start taking on spirits that possess you. I started doing things I never imagined, I was already drinking on the plane, I was drinking all the time since I got up. I became what I had said so much I was never going to fall, what my grandfather was (…) It was the door to hell,” he said.

The singer pointed out that it was thanks to a very important member of her family that she decided to act on the issue and begin her recovery process, because before that she had not only put music aside , but also had a habit of staying up to sleep in public places due to the effects alcohol had on her.

“One day I was lying in the street and my mother was shouting, ‘Daughter, ask for help.’ I remember that I decided to ask for help after my life had been undone for the love of my mother and for the infinite love of music,” sentenced.

Reactions from social media users were quick to come and many of them praised Flor’s strength.

“It’s very true who starts with himself, goes to realize who he really has and adds to it, criticizing and judging is always easier I like what you preach with your example”. “You are an example not of perfection but of going beyond and accepting your ideals, you and your convictions based on your experience, I very much agree with you, even if I am a person without vices, but with defects yes”, we read in Youtube.

To understand what it means to be “non-binary”, you must first know the definition of binary genderthis amounts to accepting only the existence of two genders: the feminine (women) and the masculine (men), which would be attributed to people at birth according to their sexual organs.

However, the gender binary “has underpinned discrimination, exclusion and violence against all diverse gender identity, expression and experience”, according to the Glossary of Sexual Diversity, Gender and Sex Characteristics provided by the National Council for the Prevention of Discrimination (CONAPRED).

Thus, Flor Amargo is a person who does not identify with the gender socially assigned to their birth sex, but who does not identify with the other gender or with any in particular.
