What’s up gang. 24 and about to be divorced, partially because my wife says I’m only nice and loving when I’m drunk. The rest of the time I’m stressing about money or doing whatever I can to not engage with my life because I don’t know how to be a normal person, which includes drinking among other things. Now that she’s gone I blow through a liter of vodka in 2 days. Not great. It keeps me from doing anything more stupid though, if you know what I’m saying. On top of that, my mom, who’s been an alcoholic for as long as I can remember, is now sober. She also lives 1000 miles away with the rest of my family, but yeah I am leaning very hard on alcohol to cope with my whole life blowing up in my face. Until now, it hasn’t impacted my job but I think that’s about to change. I really have no plans to stop as its the only thing that makes me feel a little bit better about working a job I hate to support a future that doesn’t exist anymore. I feel like the same dumb kid that used to cry and hold on for dear life to my dad’s legs because he had to go home and I just couldn’t understand why he didn’t live with us anymore. Except this time I’m a grown man and its my soon to be ex wife. If whiskey could talk…

Hey brotha, I know that you don’t want stop drinking. Which is fine. But no need to do that much in two days. I’m an alcoholic and I’m trying to get clean cuz I’m almost 36. It first starts there then it turns bad. I just lost my girl because of alcohol and I’ve lost jobs. You are young, there will be more women out there for you. Most ladies love when men care about money. I think you will be fine my guy.
