"Alcohol doesn't help"

Here I am.

At the bar,

Consuming too much booze.

Attempting to flee.

I've got a lot going on.

My life is a wreck.

What do I do?

How will I get out of this?

How can I solve everything?

I'm in distress.

I'm living a lie.

Drinking to avoid issues.

Nonetheless, I discover them when I go sober.

Life is something else.

I'm in distress.

Is it doable to avoid problems?

Can one avoid problems?

Is it simple to escape?

Where will my problems go?

Will alcohol assist me?

Will drinking help me deal with my problems?

That was amusing.

Nothing changed.

I'm in debt.

I'm getting deeper.

I'm in distress.

My life is a wreck.

What do I do?

Some people drink for enjoyment.

I drink to avoid my problems.

Permanent problems.

How do I overcome my habit?

My drinking is no longer normal.

It's now a habit.

It's also my problem.

It contributes to my problems.
