Went to a drinking buddy's pool to hang out today.....didn't drink but knew everyone else would be and they were....one lady who i've met before was so drunk she was slurring her words at 1pm.....drunk people are so unattractive.....then you could understand what she was saying, it seemed it was always some random thing that made no sense.....i know i have been like that so many times.....how ugly!!....everyone just laughed at the lady when she wasn't looking.....why do we just laugh at and put up with drunks like us....being sober and watching that makes me never want to be that person again....i have seen myself in videos before though and said that then too...didn't work then either

anyway...i did the af for 6 days and have been moderating since....sat had 4 drinks.....okay don't really call that moderating because i was quite drunk by the end.....but since only 2 on sun and 2 yesterday and 1 today so far

feeling kind of lonely without my hanging out drinking friends though

IAD, Those are the very best and only sort of drinking buddies I care to hang out with!!!

You are right dove, drunk people really are extremely unatractive, sad, even....keep working on living alcohol free, it is positively the best life!

oh those kids are so cute.
Dove I completely understand what you are talking about. It is so hard to continue to socialise with people who drink to excess (not that I am judging seeing as I was very recently one of them). I was with some friends who were hitting it hard recently - and my god how boring were they? They just kept repeating themselves all the time talking about bloody nothing. Uggh really annoying. Not only that but why do people invade your personal space when they are drunk - they have to be like an inch from your nose when they are talking to you - what is with that? I dont think I ever did that but if I did I sincerely apologise. And worst of all they freaking well take it personally that I am not drinking/smoking. If that isnt the most selfish thing I dont know what is. One friend said oh you have changed so much lately - you are just not yourself any more - are you okay? doh!

Sweet Baby! IAD how did you get my photo!! And my BFF?! See Dove, you can hang out with me and my buddies!! We love slugging down some cold chocolate!
Seriously - My friends I used to drink with are starting to open up to me about that fact that they are not very happy, and really don't want to drink so much. You just never know what is REALLY going on inside their heads. No one LOVES being out of control. They just pretend - so they won't feel worse than they already do. I am starting to watch people with compassion and truly feel bad for them. It changes how you view going out. I leave the party feeling stronger than ever in my resolve. Like you did. Way to go.
