Country, I fooled myself into think a drink or two or more would help me relax and couldn’t hurt. So every night and twice as hard on the weekends was becoming the norm.
In my case I could become numb to the pain temporarily. It was always waiting for me to become aware of it again
My drinking solved nothing. I believe it actually prevented me from processing and dealing with my issues. I am no expert, but there is quite a bit of antidotal evidence indicating we continue to process issues while we sleep. I understand alcohol disrupts the sleep cycle particularly REM sleep when we dream.
Alcohol use was not a factor in the downward spiral W and my relationship took. I will not have it contribute to a personal downward spiral.
Neither should you. You are better than that. You know this is true. We have enough tough uphill battles to face and IMO, hobbling ourselves this way is counter productive.
Take a long hard look. Is this improving you or your sitch? Is this working? Do what works
