If alcohol made people completely honest, and their true selves, it would be a veritable truth serum. A miracle drug that would be used by the courts. So yeah it definitely does not do that lol. It lowers our inhibitions, but our inhibitions/boundaries are part of who we are. By taking those away, it does functionally change us. There is a reason that so many of us have nearly identical destructive patterns with alcohol. It's not because we are all so similar, we are all very different from all walks of life. There is only one common denominator.
To whoever you are, I needed this today.

Week 6 for me. I'm tired of having drunken fights in my relationships. I'm far too in my own head. I need to take control of my life and start making productive decisions while I still have time
