dude. Trying to explain the “drinking myself to death” thing to people who haven’t been there is fucked up, it’s a dark fucking way to live, but there are so many people who are there, and the way the world celebrates drinking makes me fucking sick!!! Most of the people I know who’ve been there are fellow vets, because “Drink water, lean forward,” becomes “drink liquor, hide your feelings even from yourself,” when we’re uprooted by separation from the service and dropped right back in the middle of the postmodern hellworld we live in and worked so hard to break away from in the first place, with little to no support… Glad you made it out, brother!
lol!
