Episode Synopsis

By the time I was 42, I couldn't manage what was going on inside of me and what was going on outside of me at the same time. I had debilitating anxiety that drove me to isolate and create wedges in my relationships. I was never telling the truth. I was afraid to go to the store, to the kid's bus stop, to work, home, etc. I never told anyone because I didn't think anyone would understand. I thought I was unique. This idea kept me sick for a very long time.
I couldn’t manage my life without drinking, but I couldn’t manage my drinking. I made excuses for why I couldn’t, wouldn’t, or shouldn’t. The only times I said yes were for a refill. I wore a costume of confidence until it no longer fit me. When I finally ran out of excuses for why not, I decided why not, and I just did.
