"And, what was I going to do, socially, now I'd stopped drinking? Would I be a social pariah?”
Faye Lawrence shares her journey from party animal to sober socialising.
Sometimes, like an abusive relationship, we go round and round on the hamster wheel with alcohol. ‘But this time it will be different!’, ‘I know how to handle it’, ‘it’s no worse than anyone else’s situation’, ‘they didn’t mean it, it’s me’.
This is the cycle of addiction. Hurting yourself over and over and being unable to stop.
