I always tell people that I feel things so much more deeply and just more. So whereas before I could gloss over everything with that veneer of alcohol and kind of deny the thing... I have struggled with some anxiety coming up with like panic attacks and things like that, which is also related to the physical changes in pregnancy because your diaphragm has no room and you can't breathe and all this stuff. And what did we do before when we're drinking and we're afraid of something or we're scared of something? We just drink over it and we just forget about it. And we just don't address that thing.
