*trigger warning* 


I would be niave to say that I deal with emotions very well. In desperate attempts to fill the emptiness, I try to use drinking to cope. It felt like my dad loved drinking more than me, so I was hopeful i could discover how this potion could be so much better than a family. 

my found memories of drinking are feeling happy, laughing with friends, feeling giggly, like I can finally, truthfully, be happy. 

but when my friends leave, I continue to drink, long after any sense of judgement is left... soon, there is no happiness, i feel lonely now that there is nobody here to laugh with. so I pour another drink. desperate to get that happiness back, even though it is temporary. but the more I drink the more angry, and combative I get. Anxious thoughts. There is no hope of it slowing down at all. I know I will pass out soon either from the drinks or the anxiety. 

The next day I know I will wake up and do it again the next day, begging to wake up with the happiness, without the drinking.

but it never comes.
