Another 24 – Series #3; “You Called It Comfort. It Was Chemical Control.”

Collectible 3 of 24 • For the Wine-Drunk Real Ones

I used to call it self-care. A glass of wine to take the edge off. Something pink, sweet, and socially acceptable to keep me from falling apart completely. But the truth is, I wasn't sipping for comfort — I was chemically controlling my mood, my emotions, my entire f*cking life. And I knew it.

I’d cry on the phone, saying I was “fine.” Post a selfie. Swirl the glass like it was a love language. Meanwhile, I was dying in slow motion under the illusion of “manageable.”
This mug is for the version of me that thought wine was safer than meth — as if my trauma checked the label for proof.
