-how big corporation are stuffing it down or throats through advertising
-How the industry is making money from our pain. I bet some of the big wigs don't even drink.
The more I learned on this side of things, the more determined I became to NOT be someone's puppet.
I think you're on a path to happiness in sobriety. Awesome!
Thank you, Sober! Really appreciate your message and what you are saying
Over the last year or so I've been doing a lot of research on addiction and recovrry etc but never really down the corporate route so definitely something to check out!
I know I've got this, I really do. I suppose right now its still early from the hurt I caused and what I've lost but im trying to not dwell and let myself get in that mind frame - I've just never been in this position before but its something to learn and grow from.
Overall im feeling pretty good though and extremely hopeful.
I hope you're doing good!
