alcohol's false promises

[life...take2]

Found this in a book, The Addicitive Personality.

I modified it a bit, but thought I would share it and pass it along.
Looking forward to a beautiful Sunday afternoon - Peace to all - stay strong and inspired!

Booze: Bring me your pain, and I will give you relief.
Reality: Bring me your pain, and I will give you the ILLUSION of relief.

Booze: I will set you free
Reality: I will come to own you.

Booze: Spend time with me, you can trust me. You can't trust anyone else.
Reality: Spend time with me and I'll teach you to be mistrustful of others.

Booze: I'll teach you how to overcome problems - how not to face your issues.
Reality: You can hide temporarily, but the issues won't go away.

Booze: Come to me and I will make you feel good.
Reality: I will make you feel good for a short time and then will make you sicker then a dog and worse later on.

I had to add another one.

Drifty your cats so GORGEOUS xx Sorry, nothing to do with your posts.x

One from me tho -
Booze:I'll make you so funny and confident in this room full of strangers.
Reality:People will ask for days "Just who was that nutcase with purple lips who was all over the dance floor, and flashing he fat body at everyone at the end of the night?".

Love it! Noodle, I remeber telling my boss I wanted to "f**k him" OMG, I still cringe so much at that thought!

Booze: You need me to help you sleep
Reality: I adore sleeping like a baby and dreaming

Booze: The reason you are miserable is because all these people around you are not treating you right.
Reality: The reason I was miserable is because I wasn't treating myself right.

Thank God Autumn - Posts like your's make me feel a bit better about what an arse we make of ourselves whilst under the influence - just where does that stuff come from???? I said the same to my Mums best friends husband - who I wouldn't touch with a barge pole under ANY circumstances - so mindblowingly shamefull what b******s we come out with. The worst moments of my life, and the ONLY things I've EVER regretted - done whilst drunk. :upset:

Oh my word, mums best freind hubby is pretty high on the cringe-ometer!!

I really used the f-word, too! As I leant accross and whispered it in his ear, all sultry and sexy
Reality - I slurred at him and my breath probably reaked of booze and fags and he was sober

Yup..not a high point for me :H
But luckily...there's plenty more where that came from....so sometimes it's hard to get too stressed about any particular incident I don't know.....nothing I can do about it now, and looking around that's life!!
