It's definitely NOT an easy topic to discuss. I never developed a problem with alcohol but it did challenge me in my life.

Oh I agree. I’m glad you brought it up. I honestly probably would have myself, I just didn’t know how to like you said. I never abused alcohol, but I did try it for a few months five years ago and honestly I can see how you can get hooked on it. I had to stop before it became too hard. Now I have gone back to not drinking alcohol at all. Not worth it.
I also once accidentally drank too much at once out of peer pressure which caused a bad experience. Didn’t have to go to the hospital but I became very panicky. That was a big part as to why I stopped drinking alcohol even a little bit. As weird as it sounds, I’m glad I experienced it. As scary as it was, it made me realize how quickly you can spiral so I got out of it before I got hurt and didn’t need therapy. Didn’t want to ruin my life. Never want an accident like that to happen again.
