Since I Quit Drinking and Why Did I do that?

I quit drinking because I recognized that it was bad for me, and doing me serious harm. I realized I needed to be on medication, not self-medicating, because my family was manipulating me into doing something wrong for me anyway. I quit drinking-which was met with ridicule but I did that to screw them over. Not drinking is healthier than drinking myself to death with a high tolerance, and that is what I was doing. In my 20s, I was following their rules, exactly, much to my own detriment. I was following their rules, rather than getting stable because when I turned 18, I was like, wow, I can get SSI/meds now. Of course, I was talked out of it.
