****I was in denial for 18 years of my life until the age of 29 where I finally made the decision to quit drinking FOR GOOD!!!! . . . TBH I was running away from the hurt and pain i felt inside and drinking and drugging just made me feel better, but that did NOT last, not in addiction! Soon that love became an obession and a crutch for me, and the feelings I once could escape from became intensified and I found myself right back fighting with the emotions I was trying to run from. . . . So it was a never ending cycle of bullshit upon bullshit! . . . QUITTING DRINKING HAS changed my life tremendously, today I live healthy, I an truly happy, and I have accomplished so much I never was able to before!!!!
