from Tripping Over Myself the podcast · host Gerard Bradbury

Title: Loneliness Before the BottleNot the kind where you're physically alone — but the kind where you feel disconnected even in a room full of people.Alcohol creates the illusion of companionship. The drink in your hand feels like friendship — until it wears off and leaves you hollow. I drank to stay lonely. And in that loneliness, I mistook it for comfort.This episode is about what came before the bottle. The ache I couldn't name. And how loneliness doesn't always look like sadness — sometimes it looks like independence.🎧 3 minutes. That's today's sticky note.📱 Follow me:• TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@gerardbradbury.author• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrippingOverMyself.GB/• Website: trippingovermyself.com• My books are available on Amazon worldwide.
