I refrained from saying I watch The Bachelor, but now I feel like I should come clean with that one, too.
I’ve watched almost every season since it first aired in 2000. ... and yes, what a train wreck. I watch all the others you mentioned and how about Bachelor in Paradise? It’s like they take the most train wreck-y people and give them their own show.
Suze, I used to watch both of those shows. I can’t remember why I don’t anymore. I should look for them OnDemand.
In all seriousness though, those shows can be very triggering. I also find myself being a bit envious that I can’t drink like those people drink. It is very glamorized. I remind myself how good it feels to wake up sober, but it’s still a struggle. I don’t want to go back to my drinking self, I want to be able to drink like other non-addicts can. It’ll never happen.
