An Irresistible Escape

I find an undeniable allure in the sensation of becoming intoxicated. It's akin to a state of weightlessness, a respite from the burden of recalling and confronting all the vexations that usually gnaw at my soul. Under the intoxicating influence, I feel as though I can fully embrace the essence of my authentic self; in brief, it's a profound sense of liberation that washes over me.

On occasions, I deliberately choose to partake in alcoholic indulgence within the seclusion of my room, savoring the notion of solo imbibing. Here, I can sit in solitude and drain my glass without the encumbrance of prying eyes or judgmental gazes. It's a sanctuary where I can unabashedly shed tears, exposing my most vulnerable emotions, with the solace that no one will bear witness to my fragile state. It's a deeply personal communion between me and the spirits I consume, an intimate rendezvous with my thoughts and emotions.

Beneath the surface, I possess the awareness that this behavior is not a genuine reflection of my authentic self. I concede that it's a façade I don when seeking refuge from the grip of depression. It's a temporary escape, a respite from the all-encompassing darkness that shrouds my world. In this realm of inebriation, I find solace, if only for a while, from the inescapable clutches of my inner turmoil.
