Welcome Alex. I've had a lot of struggles with deciphering between the drunk me and the sober me. Who is the real me?
And then family and friends, who are hurt by our drinking, tell us we are bad and terrible and selfish people.
The sober me has values and feelings.
The drunk me is just the drunk me that has no values and feelings and cares for no one. It is NOT the real me.
My values are important. My feelings are important. My loved ones are important. - So today i'm choosing the sober me.
