Romanticizing…

by Camille St. Martin

I miss drinking right now.

But…

I know that I just think that I do.

Really, I am missing a time when I thought that getting drunk would make things better. Sometimes it seems easier to toss everything away and cope that way. But, in reality, it’s not. It took me too long to face that truth.

I think I really long for a time when things seemed more simple. Before the pandemic. Before vaccines and mandates.

I am romanticizing that past, and along with that, romanticizing a time when I thought alcohol was a solution, a cure, and a good time.

Time to face life head on. Time to feel what’s real. This romantic notion is just that….a notion. I won’t let it trick me this time.

I said I was going to quit so many mornings but never did anything different. Drinking was going to kill me but I couldn’t stop. I needed to change my brain. I decided I would change the way I thought about drinking by reading sober and alcohol free writings and blogs every morning. By surrounding myself with different information, I completely changed the way I thought about and dealt with alcohol addiction. I learned how to change my habits, I learned how to think differently about self-care, and I took a real look at how I treated myself. I started to see alcohol for the poison that it is. My personal reality changed by reading the stories of others. Now I share my own stories here to help others and to continue the healing.
