I started drinking again when I lost my dog. And then my youngest went off to college. I used alcohol to ease the sadness.
I got another dog, but was back to drinking again and didn’t really stop.
My mom is pretty Sick right now.
I've decided that drinking isn’t going to help me cope and I’ll miss out on really being with her (having the presence of mind). I wouldn’t forgive myself for that.
Alcohol doesn’t take away sorrow Or painful memories like you wish it would
