I have no defense against the first drink. If I drink, I will drink until the end of the bottle. This is not a matter of willpower, for I have no willpower when it comes to alcohol.

Yeah, you do not got it like I do.

It is sometimes difficult for non-alcoholics to understand, because they assume it is about a love of alcohol.

It isn't.

It is a profound discomfort with your own self, and a crazy desire to not be inside of your own mind.

It's about trying to remove the pain for a few short minutes. Been there. You're not alone in that struggle.

"and a crazy desire to not be inside of your own mind."

This explains it so well. Just to turn off that voice in my head for a little while. sigh

I have a good friend dealing with this level of alcoholism albeit she has wernicke-korsakoff syndrome and has zero interest in anything. Life for her consists of drinking (thanks jewber for alcohol delivery) and fast food.
