Alcoholism Made These Habits Feel Normal. They Weren't.

It's shocking how many bizarre behaviors my addiction spawned.

It’s been eight years since my last drink. I know that this is a cliche, but when I think back to my years of active addiction, it truly feels like I was a different person. It’s hard for me to believe that there was such a long period of my life in which I got drunk every single day.

So many parts of my life that felt normal back then now seem bizarre and alien. I don’t know how I lived like that for so long.
