Getting drunk helps me as a transition state between sober states dealing with the next set of "work, government bullshit, news, and assholes." While sober, I'm under minor to moderate paranoid stress. Beer relieves that. We are all different. It is my "medication." I'll be drinking until I'm dead. And I am okay with that.
Sober, you are under stress of waiting for the next round of alk/detoxing from last night. I've been there. Besides, stress and unhappiness is a normal part of life.
I never thought I would quit, but I did, and don't miss it. I was as bad as anyone you ever knew. Always thought I was 'doomed' to be a shithead drunk/doper. Turns out...not. Finally got sick of it all. Hope you get there some day.
Thanks for the positive thoughts. Cheers! I mean, no, not cheers, uh ... thanks!
