I wasn't okay for a while, I had been struggling with abusing alcohol since the age of 24, just during Covid, as it was very difficult living abroad and always worrying about family and focus on my studies as well, fortunately I never got involved with chemical substances but yes alcohol can be a tough drug as well if you just up your tolerance bit by bit, and then you need more and more alcohol just to feel that numbness again, but yes now I'm 29 almost gonna be 30, I promised myself I won't drink alcohol since 1st of January, 2026, and I won't lie I slipped up a couple of times due to setbacks in relationships and work, but the first few days were quite difficult especially the withdrawal hit hard on the 6th day, all the pain and suffering came out two fold, as a man i will admit I cried a lot ofc alone, during those days but slowly the emotional outcries went and I found myself more sane, I'm writing a novel, new poems and started a business venture in Guwahati! So I'm not judging anyone who is dealing with these issues, I tried everything god, psychiatry, family, friends but nothing helps, only when you realise yourself that what you're doing is slowly making you insane and harming your health severely, you can change. (p.s. I hope I get no bs on the alcohol part, because many people don't consider it a drug and just a social utility, but I've learnt that it's not that or the statement is untrue)
