I started drinking alcohol regularly when I was eleven years old. I was even drunk at a bar the night Trump won in 2016. I chickened out and didn't vote for him in 2016 because I was scared that my spouse and friends would find out. On election night everyone around me was upset. (I live in a blue state) Some people were even crying but I felt a sense of relief that he won. Then a couple of weeks later I heard that Trump doesn't drink and I realized that if he can manage all the attacks on him sober, I had no reason to not be present in my own life. That was four years ago today. After 27 years of drinking I broke the cycle.

Edit: Thank you for the outpouring of love. It truly is humbling. God bless you pedes.
