Crisco,
We waste our time drinking because we like the way it makes us feel. Pretty simple, really. I know that I was trying to numb myself to the realities of my life when I began drinking. And then I did it again and again. And it became a dependency. ANd I kept doing it. And it became an addiction. And I lost my true self at that moment.
But it all started because I simply liked the way it made me feel. Now I have to undo all that hard work I did to push myself into hiding. It's scary. But I'm going to do it. And I am no longer going to be that person who wastes my life drinking.
You can do it. I'm glad you're still here.
