In the past I thought that that everything in life was better if I was drunk or high. I believed every experience could be improved if I altered it in some way.
‘I’m going on a date… we will have more fun if we are drinking.’
‘I have to clean the house… this will be much more pleasant with some wine.’Eventually things got to the point that I felt, ‘I woke up this morning… this entire day will be better with alcohol.’
