Honestly...I can't say that the feeling of hate towards myself hasn't changed. It bothers me to exist

I use to drink because I hated myself for the way I lived my life behind alcohol and drugs an it took awhile to get over that , it felt like I had nothing to offer, y my past is my greatest strength

Empathy, I never experienced it before. I might have felt sympathy, but there’s a big difference. They like ourselves are sick too. BB pg67!
