Abbandonarsi all'alcol sembra l'unica strada: il corpo che si assottiglia, la mente che si frantuma, la sensazione di essere sempre altrove mentre la vita scorre. Ci vorrà tempo per arrivare al fondo e risalire, per imparare a guardare il buio senza più annegarci dentro, per scoprire che è possibile perfino amarsi, ascoltarsi senza giudicarsi.

Addiction didn’t drown Brent Wright overnight. It discreetly infiltrated his life, initially presenting itself as a good time. It first offered laughter and fun, followed by relief and numbness. Addiction didn’t take everything at once; it gradually consumed him—dreams, values, relationships—until he found himself isolated and alone. Addiction thrived on loneliness, stole joy, crushed ambitions, and devastated everything in its wake. It broke what it promised to fix.
