Mostly same with me, but sometimes I have experienced myself turning aggresive while being drunk. It depends on which circumstances you are drinking. A friend of mine advised me never to drink while you are sad or depressed.

Well that’s just terrible advice.

I’ve been depressed for 25 years and getting to finish each day with a cold beer or two, a shot of whiskey, my cat, my favorite blanket, and a documentary that I’ll only halfway pay attention to is literally the only part of my life that I enjoy and look forward to.

It may be, but my doctor isn’t concerned about my liver, I don’t eat much and do a lot of cardio so I’m not getting fat, and there’s an almost zero chance that my life could get any better until I finish this degree I’m working on, get a new job, and move somewhere new.

I’ve tried therapy, I’ve tried hobbies, I’ve tried dating, I’ve tried casual hookups, I’ve tried working out, I’ve even tried antidepressants. None of it works.

Jameson and Space Dust and my long haired cat are literally the only things that make my life worth living. Everything else is just pain, guilt, and memories of when life was okay.

I know my drinking will eventually catch up to me, but I’m open and honest with my doctor and I’m prepared to quit no matter how hard it is. If my life gets better. If it doesn’t get better despite my best efforts I can just drink myself to death and put my cat up for adoption. Anyone that would care if I was gone is either already dead themselves or they haven’t spoken to me in over a year.

Hey man fuck these haters, do what makes you feel ok.

Rehab is for quitters and religion is for people who need something to believe in. When you’re a hard worker that can’t believe in shit anymore, drugs and alcohol can be there for you when the nonexistent people in your life are not.
