What did alcohol take from you?
For me, alcohol took away my sense of self. Before alcohol I had passions and interests that I could have explored more, but alcohol made me forget about all of them.
I loved writing and art and theatre, but was always too hungover in college to pursue any of these activities. I stopped caring about them. Pretty soon my only hobby was drinking.
Alcohol also made my anxiety, depression, and social anxiety infinitely worse. It destroyed my confidence and self-worth.
What did alcohol take from you? How can you get it back?
