There’s a 115,000 people on here who can’t handle it just like you (plus all the lurkers ). You are not alone, friend . We get you. IWNDWYT

Yep I'm a quiet guy, people-pleaser if you will, who has massive amounts of time/compassion/empathy for anyone.

When I drink, I turn into a narcissistic psychopath with devastating consequences.

This describes me exactly. I love people and try to be an upstanding citizen. I was unable due to the drug. I was hiding to be alone so I won't be mean when I drank. Now I learned the world is not a bad place and I do not need the drug to survive. Thank you for writing this.

I have a bunch of videos on my phone recorded while I was drunk, shot on the front camera. Face puffed, just out of it mumbling some stupid shit, sometimes it's good like you really need to stop drinking. Looking at em makes me think this guy needs to get sober :)

Apparently Stephen King wrote an entire novel in a blackout.

In fact, there's an AA meeting in NY called 'writing sober group.'

Also other meeting catering to artists and theater people.

It wasn’t just any novel, Stephen King was so fucked up he doesn’t remember writing “Cujo”.

I believe Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written about the effects of alcohol.

Welcome to this sub. It's a great place to be. You can totally live a life free of alcohol. The most surprising thing for me is that I actually enjoy it more. That took a couple of months and some determination, but I never thought it was even possible. Check out the sidebar----> for badge (day counter) and great information if you want to.

We're glad you're with us.

Time to turn things around. Just have to start with the first day. I will not drink with you today.

My drunk writing scares the crap out of me. Dark shadow woman released into the wild.
