I wanna drink again

[Soapie]

I really don't wanna slip into alcoholism, but it would genuinely be so fucking easy. I wanna feel the numbness of being blackout drunk right now and it's taking everything in me to resist. Would it be so terrible? Do y'all have any tips for resisting substance abuse?

I'm an addict and I have been ever since I was 11, substances got me through the way I felt and I couldn't function properly without them. Alcohol can fuck you up, it's a dangerous substance. It would be terrible, but it gets the job done, it numbs everything. But eventually that'll just get worse and you'll get even more depressed. You'll lead yourself down a rabbit hole and you won't be able to get out. I understand where you're coming from, being sober fucking sucks. But if you keep yourself busy with other things then the temptation won't be as strong, or distract yourself by doing things you like or being with friends then it can help a bit. I wish you the best.

Yeah usually when I let myself drink, it ends up going badly. That's how I stay off it. When I feel like drinking, I think about all the trouble it's caused me in the past, and how I know if I start, I won't be able to stop until it's bad enough I'm forced to quit. And then my situation is worse than before I started.

You can google resources on coping with urges but just as someone who has been there, knowing where self-medicating with alcohol leads is enough for me. Shits bad enough for me to be here, no need to make it worse for a little temporary relief.
