## Caption

I promise it's true. I said I was done drinking lots of times before I finally stopped for good. My mom begged me to stop drinking and so did a lot of other people. When I was pregnant with my son, I had a friend who actually told me she wished I was pregnant forever because I was such a better friend and better person when I wasn't drinking. I heard them and I felt their compassion but it didn't compare to what I would have to face if I admitted I had a problem. 

I couldn't cope without it. I was a walking talking ball of anxiety and emotions. I would make promises, make excuses, anything to avoid facing the truth and acknowledging the embarrassment that I was when I was drunk. I would tell people who tried to show me videos or pictures of me they had taken while we were partying and I would always say "No I black out for a reason." What kind of crappy excuse is that? I thought I was really fooling people but I wasn't even fooling myself. 

If you are struggling with coping mechanisms know you're not alone. If you want help or are sober curious please reach out today and let's talk or connect you to someone who you are comfortable talking with. Your overall health and wellness should be a priority.
