Another 24 – Series #6; I Drank Because I Was Unhappy
Collectible 6 of 24 • December 23rd, 2025 Launch
I spent two years stalking a woman in recovery. Her name was Christin. She didn’t know. I wasn’t ready, but I was desperate to understand how she looked so… free. I’d watch her at meetings I wasn’t 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 “coping.” I drank because I was unhappy. Then I stayed unhappy because I drank. That cycle almost killed me.
The day I finally drove myself to detox, I sat in the parking lot for four hours taking shots—liquid courage just to walk through those doors. I reeked of booze, shook like hell, and finally admitted I couldn’t do it alone anymore.
Sobriety didn’t 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 it’s like to watch someone else’s peace from the outside, or if you white-knuckled your way into a building you swore you’d never need, this one’s yours.
