“Quitting drinking and joining a gym to lose weight”

I turned to alcohol after my brother's death, but later got sober and lost weight through research and gym membership.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to cope with situations without turning to addiction."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't drink to tolerate a bad situation, seek help and change your life instead."
