When I drank I was anything but anxious.
We don't have to experience that misery but once. Onward!

my mind is blown right now. i just got to the point where i saw the drinking at the root of those things. i can't remember back farther... how do i find a way to see it? how do i find what it really is?
does time sober help... because i truly want to fix what i broke to get here...
and for the original poster... we're here now. that can only be a good thing. i wish all of us peace through this...

Alcohol solves nothing, creates misery, is ultra short term,........and sadly very tricky and addictive.
