Drinking made me lazy and self-indulgent. A day to myself and a box of wine was “a plan”. I put on weight, and was a red, bloated, dehydrated (amazing how you can be both!) mess.
I despised myself for that self-indulgence, and feel much better now that I’m back in shape and alive. But I do sometimes miss being able to slough off the responsibilities of adulting and just wallow.
