    I know I sent Christmas Cards with thought-warming witty comments. I just can remember what I wrote to whom.

      Falling asleep while taking a bath. That one scared me... Great thread Dex. Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat, which helps. Thanks!

        Ha ha, an easy way to do it, I suppose.

        Seriously though. knowing the real you is the best. Thank you for posting that--I'm glad I read it tonight.

        The real me. Who am I really? What do I want to be?

        Something to think about tonight.

          Ha Dex . What an easy list your making. Heres a few of my reasons drinking sucks. #1When I go to the bank @ say holy shit I spent that much last night:upset: .#2having to find a way home cause you can't drive impaired.#3If you do drive going to court. Then it's the bank acount thing again. #4Not always going home @ if I do it's very late then ive got others to deal with.#5Having others worry because they don't no were you are.#6Pissen off others because your drunk @ stuppid.#7Pissen off your boss because you come in late or don't show up at all.#8Feeling crappy all day at work the day after.#9Not eating properly @ feeling crappy @ having no energy.#10Loosing relationships.#11Feeling you don't have total control of your life.#12Noing something out of a bottle can make you do things you normaly would not do.. Hope this helps your list.If you nead more reminders this is only a drop in the bucket. Happy New Year my friend.All the best
          There's more to life than success. The greatest success is living well.

            What I hate about drinking!!!!

            Some of My Many Reasons

            Hi! I'm new here and want to join others here by going AF Jan 2nd.

            Why??? WAAAAAYYYY too many reasons; many already posted. Some others:

            1) I'm tired of not attending events because I've already been drinking and don't want to drive.

            2) I'm sick of wasting days sitting around the house feeding my addiction or being hungover.

            3) I don't get things done. Alcohol makes me tired and lazy.

            4) Money. This drinking everyday is expensive!!!!

            5) Bodily harm with falls and bicycle crashes.

            6) Making stupid decisions while drunk putting myself in unsafe vulnerable positions.

            7) Being so obviously drunk that the cab driver takes advantage of the fare and not being able to remember even the company to complain (happened twice this year).

            8) Not living my fullest potential.

            9) Reading past journals and seeing that my drinking has been a problem for years and years....always with the promise to myself that "I'm going to get it under contro this yearl".

            10) The little voice inside that begs me to stop drinking and that promises good things (what...I have no idea) if I do............


            Looking forward to all your support in the New Year. I'm REALLY going to need it!

                  What I hate about drinking!!!!

                  1. Getting sacked due to being hungover (again).
                  2. Constantly letting people down.
                  3. Not remembering anything.
                  4. Having to carry alcohol around anywhere that it might be absent.
                  5. Being fat.
                  6. Spending money like it's water.

                  I am sure there are more but being hungover as i type i can't remember them!

                    What I hate about drinking!!!!

                    Looking in a mirror while trashed - seeing this weird guy with a haunted look in his eyes, and thinking

                    "you are gonna kill yourself if you don't stop this sh*t"

                    - And then doing it all over again the next night !

                      You and I are "here"!

                      I took a cab home back in September from the HOSPITAL after they admitted me for "disorientation". Not only did I overpay the cab driver, but I have to pay a co-payment for the visit to the Emergency Room!

                      Alcoholism is VERY high, and I can't afford it anymore. One more car accident, and I'm sure my insurance will be canceled.

                      Lazy and tired? Much of the time when I'm on a binge, like I was yesterday, I don't eat because I don't believe in eating and drinking. I'm not young enough for THAT anymore. Tired all the time!

                      Afraid to go anywhere because of my failure to communicate sober; but have recently discovered that I can't drink and communicate either.

                      I used to be a GREAT communicator... under the influence. It's failing me now, though.

                        Me too! It looks like my eyes are sinking into my skull... I'm sure part of it is the aging process and the alcohol just SPEEDS it up!

                        When is my life over? I wish I had a date and a f**king time when I knew this crap would be OVER!

                        I'm sick of this struggling!
