Every single you just really summed it up. Quite funnily too !
I drank to cope with what I would now call mild anxiety back then. But my anxiety started because I was hungover all the time. Then I drank to over come THAT anxiety and that spiraled into 20 plus years of cyclical anxiety/hung/relief/anxiety/hung/relief until finally it completely stopped working and I was anxious 24/7.
I blew out my brain with the "medicine" of alcohol that turned on me and became the poison.
But with each passing sober day, it is getting easier. And my brain is healing. And that is enough of a Christmas gift for me...
