I can not alter the direction of the wind,
But I can change the direction of my sail.

I don't miss being tired in the morning
I don't miss having my children and grandchildren watch me drink
I don't miss every damn photo I am in I have a glass of red in hand
I don't miss the arguments in my head
I don't miss the heart palpitations and 3:00 a.m. wake ups
I don't miss the dehydration that causes the body buzz
I don't miss the belly weight
I don't miss the taste believe it or not
I don't miss the expense
I don't miss the missed mornings
I don't miss the memory lapses
I don't miss the burns, scrapes, slips and falls
I don't miss the hiding my emotions and fears
I don't miss the excuses to start earlier in the day
.... etc. ad nauseum"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading."

I don't miss trying to figure out what lie to use to cover up for my drinking..Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.Comment

I don't miss waiting for my life to be on track.
I don't miss the secrecy.
I don't miss the fear that I had done permanent damage to my body.
I don't miss being afraid of what the future would bring.You had the power all along, my dear.Comment

I don`t miss being poisoned by a drug called Ethanol but being sold to me in drinks to actually enjoy.I am too big and too small and too much and not enough and too frightened to change and too sad to stay the sameComment

Thanks starty,
I always feel a bit odd bumping it up as I started it lol! But it helped me out so many times. It knocks the romance off the 'just a glass wont hurt' bullsh*t.
I really dont miss the twisted eveil voice that dressed up how lovely just one glass would be, and the lies it fed my pickled brain.I can not alter the direction of the wind,
But I can change the direction of my sail.

I was journaling about this last night actually.
I don't miss the fights with my SO.
I don't miss the internal arguments in my head about wether or not I should drink.
I don't miss feeling sick. I don't miss the anxiety.
What I do miss is all the time I had lost to that POS named AL.
I could have accomplished so much more in my life.
