I can’t drink anymore because of what it does to my body but I need something to stop feeling. I have other coping mechanisms but nothing numbs everything like alcohol does. When I was younger I always thought I’d end up as an alcoholic or a drug addict. This reality is too hard to stomach on its own. My meds help but not with depression.
Wtf do I do without alcohol?

I have struggled with alcoholism myself. Went to rehab last October and have not picked the bottle up since. Sometimes I think about drinking, but my drinking hurts more people than just myself, and so ultimately, I decide not to.
If youre looking for methods to stay sober, there’s always meetings and exercize. I dont personally like AA though.
If youre looking for a substitute substance for Alcohol, weed is probably your safest bet. It’s not exactly the same, but at least it won’t damage your body as much as drinking.
Of course, staying sober is the best option, but I have the same devil standing on my shoulder, so I get it. If youre going to do it, be as safe as you can about it.
Youre worth something to someone. Best of luck.
I just relapsed tonight at work. My coworkers keep trying to pry me open and I don’t blame em. All I can say is that I feel great regret for relapsing even though I was super socially anxious just hours ago. Alcohol helps with my social anxiety but it doesn’t help me keep my finances in order. Now I gotta order another Uber tomorrow morning just to pick up my car. That’s at least $16. I already spent $15 for a ride home tonight. That’s $30 + whatever I spent on the booze all because I’m too afraid of connection.
