Alcohol as a Crutch for Joylessness

Someone told me today that I was always stern and grouchy both before I started drinking heavily and again now that I’m sober. Alcohol just allowed me to hit pause on that and be carefree for a bit. Any types of therapy or medicine to help find that peace? I never had it, not even before I started drinking.

What makes you happy? Cymbalta60mg

I think maybe I’ve just cared too much about things. Booze allowed me to let go of that temporarily and be this fun carefree guy. It might just involve trying to do that sober.

A program of recovery has helped me with that very same problem!! I choose AA and have found much relief

I’ll consider checking out a support group.

Hey man. Is it really booze that allowed you to do this? Is this a healthy way to think? You can still be that carefree fun guy. Confronting those things that are standing in the way of that is important. You can be that man that you want to be!
Be who you want to be!
