Truly. I drank not to escape, but to FEEL. So now I’m left figuring out what can “make me tick,” give me some sort of spark for life. It’s challenging but I know it will come. My brain spent 26 years reliant on external substances for even basic feelings of motivation.. it’s gonna take more than 19 months to retrain and develop those healthier, natural neural pathways.

Good luck with that, sincerely. I drank for so many reasons. But what’s crazy is…they don’t matter right now. I started so young I never developed some of the most basic coping skills every adult has(or should, anyway). I gotta figure that (insert disallowed word here) first.
