    Dear Alcohol

    A coworker forwarded this joke today. Gosh if she only knew how true all these consequences(and many more) were to all of us here at MWO.

    Dear Alcohol,

    First and foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect gift, post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around at the holidays (hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings). However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences:

    1. Phone Calls:

    While I agree with you that communication is important. I question the suggestion that any conversation after 2 a.m. can have much substance or necessity. Why would you make me call my ex's? Especially when I know, for a fact, they DO NOT want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night.

    2. Eating:

    Now, you know I love a good meal. But, why do you suggest that I eat a taco with chili sauce along with a big Italian meatball and some stale chips (washed down with wine & topped off with a Kit Kat AFTER a few cheese curls & chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater but, I think you went too far this time.

    3. Clumsiness:

    Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer this issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock.

    4. Furthermore:

    The hangovers have GOT to stop! This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order. But, the 3 p.m. hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that if the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out (face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn or wherever). The hangover should be minimal and in no way interfere with my daily activities.

    Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now and would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the
    extra money in my pockets.

    In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above and address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Friday 3 p.m. (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions. And hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership.

    Thank you,

    Your Biggest Fan

            I have seen this before and it made me cringe as well when the friend that sent it me was a nondrinker and did not know my dirty little secret.......have to admit it is funny though.
            I'm really easy to get along with once people learn to worship me

              Thanks for sharing Marcie!

              I remember reading this just under 5 years ago when it was passed along to a bunch of us at work. I remember having such a belly-full laugh and relating to it in absolute hysterics........................ all before I came a full blown alchy.

              So what in the f*ck happened???

              DOH!

              Oh, the innocence of having fun in the beginning. I am so glad I can laugh at it again! Thanks for that!

                    a letter

                    I have seen this before and it still makes me laugh. It reminds me of when I was meditating and I fired alcohol from my "company"...even though it had been a long time employee through the generations..I realized that it was the source of all problems in the "family company". My great grandfather was killed by a train when my grandfather was 2...because he was drunk. Too long employeed by my company. My other great grandfather deserted his 5 kids when his wife died in childbirth...because he was a drunk. It was very theraputic. I plan to write my own private letter to it...and this points out that humor would be helpful. It reminds me of the song "Alcohol"...I find that those who have never struggled with alcohol find the humor in it....only those who have struggled find it downright hysterical.

                        One of the things I really like about this site is that after you have been AF for a while you can actually forget all that stuff - unless or untill you fall off the wagon.

                        This servces to remind us what we are so not missing, and gives us that extra incentive to keep missing it.
                        The furture lies before you like newly fallen snow - be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.
