Hey there, So I grew up only with one parent who was an abusive alcoholic. He went sober and met his new wife with the same problem, they're happy and sober now for a year or so. I see it's possible and how much of a good change it is.
But this is about me, I've been drinking since 16, never thought it was a problem. But I started going to the bar a bit more lately, alcohol is probably making my body worse. I feel more tired and sick, it's definitely adding to my clinical depression. Most of the bad things I did were while I was drunk. I took a bit of introspection and realised that like 95% of my self loathing comes from alcohol. I didn't do anything terrible, not even out of the normal,
