It just made things better, right?
Fake connections.
I understand that that there is a there is a thing where you do think that alcohol is bringing you together in a group, but it really is
It's a false sense of reality.
Because
You're not really at your core self connecting with people when every when people are intoxicated.
So it is giving a little bit of fake connections.
Obviously, if there's friendships you have that are legit based off of other shared interests, I'm not talking about that, but like the the going out, like the socialness of what we think alcohol does, it actually doesn't.
It's very surface level.
Again, next day anxiety, the hang anxiety, the shame, the regret.
So
You're grieving the story you believed, not the reality that you lived in.
Okay.
And that is very when it comes to grief and having to grieve things, that is very true where you will often more romanticize the good than you will the bad when the bad showed up more.
So like for me, the bad showed up about ninety percent of the time that I drank.
And ten percent of the time, I did have a ball.
I had a really good time.
And that's why I will never, never, never, never not pretend I did not drink alcohol and that my life
that part of my life didn't exist.
Or even as I have shared with you guys about the last work Christmas party, I was at Hammered and asked one of my bosses if he enjoyed blowies before I browned out.
