So I went to a small New Year’s party, everyone there was drunk except ( thankfully) my sister and I but man it was hard. I know that right now I’m just white knuckling it “dry drunk” or whatever because I’m dealing with a lot of anxiety… but it fells really good that for the first time in five or six years I’m completely sober going into the new year.
I’ve recovered from another mental illness so I know relapses happen and that it will probably take many years to fully recover but I’m taking the first steps so i feel like I can be proud of that.
It’s So difficult to be around drunk(overly) people sober. Glad your sister was there to support you.
