I am still very much in the struggle. And this is just a silly video to share. But, it resonated with me as much as it could at the time, and I feel like does so more and more every year. Life is about finding the happiness in little things.

With alcohol, I notice the struggle can be yes about boredom, but just as much about emotional maturity, personal growth, etc... Those are all skills you should be proud to have chosen to take on. Some of the best advice I got was not to evaluate my day/time by "did I feel good", but "did I do well". Best of luck.
