I was talking about how, like alcoholics have an allergic reaction to drugs and alcohol, which means it's an abnormal reaction, which means that I think that we actually feel better like, for whatever reason. I just want to feel like that all the time, and I don't care what, I don't care, I don't care what the consequences are.
Ever wondered what it takes to navigate the early stages of sobriety?
