Getting sober seems like a cage at first, but it frees you in so many other areas. A big thing is you don't have to fear people anymore, or at least most of them. I dont have to deal with cops, judges, lawyers, psychiatrists, rehabs, i dont have to be ducking the landlord or bill collectors anymore, dont have to deal with a gf or my boss/job being mad at me, because no longer fuck up anything that makes all those things a problem. Its kinda boring, yeah, but im trading a dozen horrible things for one inconvenient thing. Its a good trade off. It takes a long time to get to that place, (about 3 years, for me) but it's worth it.

Has anybody seen that movie, on Tubi? To me it shows what a mess drunk people can be, without glamorizing or demonizing them. The movie starts with a woman who seems like a social drinker with a hint of a problem, then something happens and her drinking kicks into overdrive. Its not a great movie, i dont want to oversell it but it was interesting.
