I wrote in a recent thread that alcohol took away the essence of me.
To me, the essence is love, strength, peace, acceptance, joy. When the darkness of alcohol took over, there was no joy. There wasn't even a glimmer of contentment.
Journals are awesome. The last major relationship error I made I used my journal for several months and it was the thing that finally brought me out.
Really great thread/post, Terp.
