That's how it started for me. Alcohol SEEMED to help.
Until it turned on me and made everything a million times worse.
It's a false, lying, thief.
Unfortunately i think i had to feel THAT badly to finally see how much denial i was in and that poison wasn't helping me AT ALL.
It gradually sucked all the good out of my life.
I'm exercising now. I need to feel good naturally.
Sometimes I think some (apparently like me) have to actually experience for themselves just how BAD that stuff can make you feel before they get to the place where they wont touch the stuff.
That's where I am now.
The mere thought of drinking alcohol makes me gag.
