I’d be willing to bet the percentage of people who can honestly say they love alcohol is probably a shade or two either over or under 10% of drinkers.
Which isn’t that odd , because that number correlates well with the percentage of drinkers that become addicted.
Drinking comes with consequences, when you love it , like I did, it’s possible and sometimes easy to ignore them and the effects they have on those around us.
I loved it but hated the consequences, but I kept doing it anyway, until I quit full stop.
Turns out you can flat out ignore the wanting / loving it part comfortably, because the zero consequences to yourself and others part is indescribably such a better way to be.
Good luck, Rootin for ya
