I feel like alcohol is the only way for me to really feel like myself so I’ve developed an issue with it over the years. It’s like a magic solution to all my issues yet it’s so easy to black out and embarrass myself horribly and wanna go crawl in a hole.

Are you on the spectrum by any chance? I am and I feel the same way. It rips my mask off and I just feel loose and free and comfortable in a way I am never able to when I’m sober.

literally- exactly the concept of "2 drinks makes me a normal person" It sounds rlly bad in a substance abuse way... but it's also a genuine tool if used appropriately/in moderation might I suggest u maybe try thc and/or cbd gummies instead of drinking sometimes?

OHMYGOD YES EXACTLY. I feel so uptight and nervous and anxious at parties especially and then I drink and I feel like I’m “normal.”
