I so appreciate your vulnerability in writing this. Writing about your bottom can be so painful and yet so helpful.
It makes sense you really had to prove to yourself that yes, alcohol is a neurotoxin, and yes, you really can’t have it in your life (the addict mind is so good at convincing us otherwise, isnt it?). I’m sorry you had such a terrifying and painful experience, I’m so glad you have people in your life who love and support you, and I wish you the best on your journey, one day at a time. It’s such a challenge to be present for this ugly, painful, magnificent, beautiful human experience… but ultimately it’s where it’s at ☺
