Trust me. Alcohol is overrated. Easy to use as a coping mechanism. After I hit rock bottom I was downing so much cus I was so stressed. When I finally had my panic attack I said I wasn't gonna drink for the rest of the year. Though I fukked up once and had a glass of wine a few weeks ago I've been pretty much alcohol free. Don't let people make you feel bad cuz your liver and lungs still pink and healthythats the thing. i feel like an alien socially because i dont really drink or smoke. and the thing is i dont know if id start drinking. im not sure. i just dont want to end up depending on it to function.
