>How did you guys get addicted?

>like to drink for its own sake, both taste and effect
>also like how it helps me want to and be able to be social
>feels good
>want to feel good a lot
>start to depend on it for any and all voluntary socialising
>drink a lot
>drink every day
>start earlier in the day when possible because drinking is nice
>sort of start to drink earlier in the day because it helps do away with bad effects of the night before as well
>the loop between the last drink before bed and the first drink the next day gets tighter and tighter
>at some point you have your first drink of the day before the last booze of the day is out of your system
>body starts to get used to perpetually have alcohol in it and learns to cope with this
>basically tries to set itself up to function normally even though the cunt of a conscious mind sabotages this with near constant intake of depressants
>body hates you for it but learns to cope since it's your poor servant and always tries to make due with whatever abuse you throw at it
>coping under pressure has become the new normal now
>you are now physically dependant on this new status quo to function
>removing the depressant throws everything off balance, kind of like one team in a tug of war suddenly releasing the rope
>go into withdrawal whenever you cease constant depressant in take
>live your life miserably, sick and enslaved and in constant anxiety about the supply of the external substance you can now not go without for more than a few hours
>from here on out you can either taper and readjust to sobriety/moderation slowly or escalate into misery beyond your imagination
