Beyond Sober

You can argue all you want about what you think the thing is, but in the end it doesn't matter. The thing could be a leaf, but what if it's just a shadow? What if it's just a reflection? You're going to keep defending that it's a leaf and find reasons why it's a leaf.

This is a time in my life I'm very familiar with feeling helpless and hopeless. I became a functioning alcoholic. I drank to cope with these feelings that sometimes led to disconnected thoughts or a sense of disorientation. Yet the reality is that I didn't want to feel those feelings, so I drank, day after day. In the end, I drank myself to death.

When you see the world as a dumpster fire, it's time to turn off the news and stop being around toxic people. That guy is a terrible person, get him out of your life. If you're not happy and successful with what you're doing, it's time to change your habits up. The happier you are, the less desire you'll have to ruin it with alcohol.

I drank at least 24 shots of alcohol a day. I barely remember the days I didn't drink. Alcohol was a huge part of my life. I used to do a lot on a daily basis, but now that I quit drinking, all that's changed. I used to spend hundreds of dollars on booze, but now I have money on hand for things that really matter.

This is why we look at humans objectively. You didn't have to say anything but what you did say was healthy. You showed the world where you are in this active conversation, and personality-wise, you showed where your emotions were. You showed that you want to contribute. You showed that you are an active participant in a healthy conversation.

You can't force someone to change, but you can influence their thoughts. The reality is that when they feel pressured, they might turn to drinking. You may be the solution, but you could be causing the problem.

The meaning of self love is different for everyone. For some, it might mean getting out of bed every morning. For others, it might mean taking care of their physical or mental health. And for some, it may even mean taking the time to do something they love. It's important to figure out what self-love means to you and then practice doing things that make you happy on a regular basis. Self-care can include anything from ignoring people to having conversations.
