Thankfully, I hate how bloated and disgusting I feel when I drink, otherwise I'd probably be an alcoholic like my mom, who died of alcohol poisoning after being the life of the party for years until it got so bad she wasn't fun anymore.

Shit is bleak out there, no one gives a shit if you have a drinking problem because it's so normalized. Then when you need help and are pushing everyone away, there's barely any support unless you have money. And AA programs have their own issues.

I've had people bring up my completely legal, never-abused, responsibly used, doctor-prescribed medication out of "concern", while my then-partner would down a couple 40s before noon and no one would fucking bat an eye.

Shit's fucked. Alcoholism is so normalized and socially accepted that folks just treat it like a fun quirk.
