Drunk again – again! You’re confused why you drank more than you thought you would, yet again. Feelings of guilt and shame about drinking hang heavy on your heart. After making countless promises to yourself and others to stop, your failure sits out there for everyone to see. Last night you had not a care in the world. This morning it’s hard to look at yourself in the mirror. Embarrassing episodes from the past haunt you. The hangovers are upsetting, but not as upsetting as the anxiety and depression you keep at bay with alcohol. You know your life would be better if you could change but you still haven’t found a way to do that.
