I got stuck. In purgatory. For decades. I hated alcohol but didn’t want to deal with life without it. I hated hangovers but drinking made them go away. I hated the anxiety I felt every second I was sober so I quieted my brain with still more alcohol. The daily cycle I lived in active addiction was a purgatory that consisted of this – hungover, anxious, depressed, drunk. ANDDDD repeat. Every.damn.day. Clearly I’m a creature of habit. I had to replace drunken habits with sober ones. Instead of that wine, I take a walk. Instead of that beer, I’ll grab a coffee. When all else fails, I call my (sober) sister. Happy Tuesday, sober family! Keep it simple today.
