Addiction & Recovery
Related: About this forumThe election has almost driven me to start drinking again.
But I can weather this. Days filled with painting. And evenings with pleasant tv viewing and bowls of ice cream will get me through this. I'm 6 years in and I'm not going to let a total piece of shit like Dementia Donnie get to me.

The last year has been very difficult for me, lots of triggers. I can honestly say though, that picking up a drink has not been a temptation. But I have many more years. I just have to remember what it was like. No way, no how would I allow the world's assholes to take away from me the thing that has kept me alive and kicking.
You're on the right path, keep going! And congrats.
