Another 24 β Series #6; I Drank Because I Was Unhappy
Collectible 6 of 24 β’ December 23rd, 2025 Launch
I spent two years stalking a woman in recovery. Her name was Christin. She didnβt know. I wasnβt ready, but I was desperate to understand how she looked soβ¦ free. Iβd watch her at meetings I wasnβt sober enough to attend, at coffee shops where she laughed with people who actually liked themselves.
Meanwhile, I was drowning in vodka and calling it βcoping.β I drank because I was unhappy. Then I stayed unhappy because I drank. That cycle almost killed me.Β
The day I finally drove myself to detox, I sat in the parking lot for four hours taking shotsβliquid courage just to walk through those doors. I reeked of booze, shook like hell, and finally admitted I couldnβt do it alone anymore.
Sobriety didnβt erase my shame or my past, but it gave me something Christin had that I was too drunk to see: a chance. If you know what itβs like to watch someone elseβs peace from the outside, or if you white-knuckled your way into a building you swore youβd never need, this oneβs yours.
