  1. Drinking alcohol. When I was in my darkest depression it was the most wonderful thing. It kept me warm when I was homeless, opened me up to various conversations, and felt like the only thing me and my mom had in common.
    Then I woke up to the reality of the life I was living and wanted change. I stopped going out to bars, stopped bringing home bottles, didn’t even order a drink out at restaurants. Slowly began to build back my sense of identity outside of an inebriated state. Realized how much better life felt when I wasn’t waking up with my stomach twisting itself into knots and not eating for days because I was too hungover to keep anything down.
    Nowadays, I can barely drink half a beer or a glass of wine, especially with thoughts of those times staring me in the face.

  2. Watching TV shows, movies, and playing video games.

    Granted, I still do those things, but before my stroke, I was able to sit down and watch TV shows and movies for hours without a second thought. Now I get a headache after 30 minutes at the computer and need to take a break.
