Does everyone really feel there was nothing positive from their drinking? I'm so envious if that's true! I hate what alcohol has done to me (or what alcoholism has, I should say) but as a very anxious person even with meds(not as bad now) there's a lot of things I don't think I'd have had the courage to do without a few drinks.

That doesn't mean it's the same now, because it has progressed to where I would almost instantly drink the entire bottle and become a mess instead of a little more confident, but I think without drinking ever I probably would have been far more isolated and alone than I am now and I don't think I would have gone to uni for 6 years or accepted some amazing opportunities.

Not trying to glamourise it, the negatives farr FAR outweigh the positives, but I don't think I could say there was nothing good from it...
