getting sober has been hot
almost 4 months without getting blasted drunk, taking Olivia out, or being chaotic and hungover
but then I drank
and I understood that besides enduring a healthy lifestyle, I was also avoiding triggers
I don't want to drink because when I do I kiss and fuck and go to an unnecesarry after party with strangers
I don't want to drink because I remember all the boys I've ever loved -or all the boys that ever ditched me-
I don't want to drink because I say hello to my unhealed trauma
but then I drank
and I didn't
It's like therapy has been working after all
or maybe I have healed my relationship with alcohol to not get to the point where Olivia is out
after a year of being unapologetically chaotic, I've come to my almost 28-year-old self trying to redefine myself
I've discovered I don't like alcohol as much
maybe because it makes me fat, perhaps because it makes me numb
all my life trying to avoid my emotions until they got me
it hasn't been that bad
I refuse not to get excited about things
even the little ones:
the guy I saw at the club checking me out
my nephew's painting including me
my niece wearing the outfit that I got her
the color of the sky on a random Tuesday sunset
the smell of the beach
liking someone again
all of these that I wasn't 100% present before to appreciate them
being sober has been hot, yes
but this has also been cold
confronting my angered self has felt like -what I think addicts feel when in rehab- withdrawal
trying to connect with people outside of my brokenness
getting to know this new me at the same time as these new people are
I've mentioned this before about not being depressed or anxious anymore has made me weird myself out because of my unfound personality
being sober feels the same
I'm in the process of healing my relationship with sex, part of me that excess of alcohol ruined -again-
still learning who I am, as I'm not what I used to define myself as
I know I'm intense, I'm loud, I'm funny, I'm kind
as I know I'm socially anxious and miss my friends
maybe alcohol was cool when in your early 20s, maybe I'm too old now par00
I couldn't help but wonder, paro
