Alcohol withdrawal can actually be dangerous. There have been times when I wanted to hit the bottle because it was hard to be alone with my thoughts and anxieties, but they can be conquered if you are able to achieve thoughtlessness and completely clear your mind like a blank piece of paper.

I come from a bloodline with quite a few heroin addicts and bad alcoholics, so it has always been something I’m wary of. At most, I’ll have a drink maybe once a week- but it has been a few weeks since I’ve even done that. I would honestly rather quit completely than get sucked into a vicious cycle of suffering, it’s just not worth it.
