Great post, mainza - what you said is so true.....
Alcohol had certain "benefits" for me and I didn't want to give those up. So I had to find ways of getting the same benefits without drinking (like dealing with my racing thoughts, accepting my emotions, dealing with insomnia, depression, restlessness etc.).
I was a revelation to me that I could start finding solutions (
real solutions) that might actually help, instead of making things worse.
