    Well, people say I’m funny. I’m glad they like my little jokes. The trouble is that I’m not as funny as I’d like to be, because I use humor as a coping mechanism… Which brings us to the alcoholism.

      Fellow alcoholic here (in recovery) that’s waay more common than you might think, I know I did this myself for a long time and I still like to be silly when its appropriate but being genuine can really be a lot better for my mental health and relationships

        I think I’m realizing that the drinking is something I tend to overdo when I’m bored.

        Still haven’t made any friends in my new area yet so I get bored too much. It’s high time I crawled out of my shell.

        I was really close to saying something funny to you. I’m glad I couldn’t think of anything good.

          Your username is a good goal to follow. People so often try to say they can fix things quickly. In reality sometimes things just get a little better and a little better over time until they are good again. Baby steps are still momentum!
