I want to be drunk and merry like everyone else.
170,000 members here. i doubt everyone here is drunk and merry.
not only that, youre only seeing the outward mask of those youre seeing drinking.. internally those people you see could be hurting pretty bad.
Alcohol seems to relieve the boredom, it stops you from feeling such a failure, you can escape reality for a little while.
yes, it did. until it didnt.
then i got sober. i looked at why i felt i was a useless POS and changed, found ways to not be bored, did a lot of work on me and my attitudes and that helped me not want to escape reality but go through whatever i had to go through.
cravings pass. ride it out. youll be greatful you did
