Love, Addiction, and The Road Ahead

Lauren and I have always enjoyed having a few drinks. Sometimes, a few drinks can lead to a few more drinks. I was never a heavy drinker because I didn’t like the hangover. So as her drinking became heavier over the last six months, I followed along and smoked more pot. I’m not saying it was her fault. This was my choice. I did this to myself. As the weeks went on, I got stoned more and more. I didn’t see how bad Lauren was getting. Our sleep patterns were disrupted. She’d start to get up in the middle of the night to drink. She’d drink in the morning because, “breakfast bourbon!” She’d drink before going to a restaurant, because, “cheaper drinks.” I didn’t care. She seemed happy and in control and I was high and oblivious. <a href="https://medium.com/addiction-aftermath/love-addiction-and-the-road-ahead-6bc06ade7257">Website</a>
