All I know is that I’d rather be lonely & sober, than drunk & under the delusion that a bottle is somehow keeping me company.
I thought about this before and for me, it was definitely this. Alcohol numbed me from feeling anything and everything. The gamut of emotions I just didn't want to deal with were washed away when I was in the wine bottle. That being said, the emotions that came with it after a binge were 10x more UNbearable than the original emotions I was hiding from in the first place!!
Baffling is damn right. *Scratches head*
and yah - I would rather be lonely and SOBER. I think we all have to learn to love ourselves, and know we are never ALONE. That's the trick. Or at least one of them!
