I’m a woman in my early 20’s and I quit drinking a few weeks ago, right before the fucking holiday season. Most people in my family probably know, but I’m extremely embarrassed about it. As selfish as this sounds, COVID’s one silver lining for me is the lack of social gatherings this time of year, and a valid excuse to stay at home. I have abysmal self esteem, severe anxiety and possibly some type of bipolar. Trying to adjust to sobriety sucks ass honestly, and has made me regress so much on the progress I thought I was making on social anxiety. I know it’s irresponsible and selfish but pregnancy would give me a reason to stop drinking for almost a year and nobody would question it. I’m trying not to act on the impulse but it’s getting more tempting every day, and my sick mind is telling me it’s the only way to survive the summer. Drop ya judgement or similar thoughts below
