Bad idea with psychiatric medications I am taking. Also I am not interested for other reasons.

I used to drink as a form of self-medication to blend in with my peers and it kinda got out of hand 😅 Just hit eight years sober!!

I’m not in meds and drink occasionally and only during evenings or nights, I have a very high alcohol tolerance so normally I only feel a little buzzed, but it is a feeling I enjoy and it makes me feel a little more normal

No I’m scared since addiction runs on both sides of my bio family. And it doesn’t look fun.

Trauma is the biggest deterrent, but so is the fact that it tastes like liquid “ew” in a container.

I just turned 21 like 2 days ago and when my family offered me to drink and gamble I said no! My dad left me when I was a baby because he drank too much. I have no desire to be like that when I have kids, I’m avoiding alcohol for the rest of my life…I just wanted to see if other neurodivergent ppl (I have Asperger’s) feel the same way

alcohol makes me happy and lets me have fun instead of being so anxious and reserved all the time
