    I’ve just written a big comment, so I’m all worded out, but I wanted to say that I’m super glad to have you here, friend. I will never judge someone for relying on maladaptive coping measures like alcohol (because God knows I’ve had plenty of experience with that kind of desperation), but I hope that self actualisation and a supportive community make it easier to rely healthier coping strategies.

      Thanks!!! I’ve broken my dependence and don’t even crave it anymore, I never have the desire to be tipsy much less drunk again, but if the world was gonna get hit by a meteor tomorrow I’d have a nice swig of highland single malt scotch right before it hits cause that is the one spirit I miss.
