LGBTQIA+ 6d
I’ve been drinking a lot recently. I think a lot of the reason why is because I’m gay and feel like I can’t tell that many people. Most of my friends know, but my parents don’t. They’re not homophobic but I know for a fact they would be disappointed

I know you probably are aware but that could lead you down a terrible path. There’s gotta be other things you really enjoy that can numb the pain you’re dealing with that aren’t drugs or alcohol. You don’t want to end up in rehab like me, with permanent brain and kidney damage. Trust me. Better days are to come for you. 🥺❤️‍🩹

Thanks for the support, it really means a lot. I’m not at rehab point yet (I don’t think) but will be soon if I keep this up. I’m trying to cut back in baby steps, drinking max 3 days a week instead of like 5-6.

Can I ask what kind of coping mechanisms or things you tried? It’s so hard not to turn to the bottle because it’s so good at numbing everything
