It's crazy how much alcohol allows us to hide from. I should say 'me to hide from'. I am not craving a drink or anything but things feel very (too) intense. It's one of the reasons why a glass of wine is so easy, life is very intense without it. I remember it being like this before alcohol and how hard it was. Better than the alternative though!

I definitly used alcohol to escape life, it was an easy quick fix, always there to reach for.

But as I soon learnt it's not a sustainable way forward in large volumes, the continuouis spiral of drinking/hangover/drinking/hangover was never going to work longterm.

I think though dealing with life head on, the thoughts, feelings and emotions of being a human as they happen is probably a healthier way forward!!
