    What I don't like about being newly sober...Rant then keep it movin'

    I also have days when I think " what the heck, I'm anyway not feeling great" and then a singer or actor in a movie makes drinking look so cool. Duhhh.I hope civilization gets to the stage where they treat drinking the same as smoking - just plain stupid.
    make the least of the worst, and the most of the best - everyday.

      Canadian gal-- I was just thinking that on my way home from counseling tonight! I hate it! I had a great session, felt good about being all AL-free for 5 days, and then "...so what, we get drunk... this is how it's supposed to be, young and wild and free..."

      Um, no. And thanks, because my daughter is in the car. Next. Song.

        I think clusterfuck is one of my very favs......Oh, and I hate the glamorizing of al on TV - it's in every program on HBO (which I love but hate the way they make it look so harmless). Fuckers..........

          I have a small rant. I hate that even after all this time (73 days), when I think of the word Friday I automatically still think of drinking. Ugh. It only lasts a few seconds but it annoys me. Fuck A Duck
          I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

          Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

          Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

            Starting out again!!!

            Reasons to stop drinking:

            I can't afford to keep spending all that money on booze!
            I hate the 3 extra stone I have put on through drinking :upset:
            Hate the fuzzy head in the morning
            Don't like not being able to remember the telly I've watched the night before
            It's making me more depressed

            Most of all it doesn't make me feel good anymore :sigh:

            My goal: 1 day AF
            Feel the fear and do it anyway! :spider:

                OK Sugarbeat - driving right up with a whole fuckity fuck cartload of STRENGTH!!!! Climb on!

                Maybe we need a new Ode to Joy - the joy of waking up guilt free. No remorse. No self-hating. Just that loveliness of being able to congratulate yourself: DID it!

                Sounds like we all could re-write Willie Nelson's 'Reasons to Quit' - for me, one of the chief ones is fear for my health. I've been slipping by with no problems -- so far! -- but how long can one's consumption go on without catching up and paying the piper?? (I'm way beyond being 'as young as I feel' - but do feel I'm tempting fate with every day of AL.)

                And shouldn't say 'no problems' --- the wonderful, happenstance way I discovered MWO (only 3 days ago??!!) was being awake at 1 a.m. and deciding I might be developing 'drinker's nose'. Came downstairs, logged on for a search.....and landed at MWO. Talk about an epiphany! Knew instantly - THIS is what I've wanted, hoped for! (And, hopefully, the 'nose issue' was another case of my over-reacting....lol).

                    Hi,

                    I hate the fact that I am sober over 3 months and now I have anxiety and stress.
                    I thought all of this would be removed.
                    But I am going to work on it.

                    All that ever mattered to me when I woke up was "is this a drinking day" and "how soon can I have my first" and wishing the day away for when I can start drinking.

                    Its very bloody hard to give this up, but I DO know it will get easier, and there are many advantages to living without alcohol.

                    Thanks

                      Hi Damo

                      I agree. Now that the AL is out of our systems we feel what the original problem was!! I hate it too!!
                      And I really hate that it seems that a glass of wine would fix it!!

                      Lets hang tight...I hear that after 6 months it gets better...

                        I hate that I could smell the wine on my mother yesterday. I hate that she said nothing while we drank a cup of coffee and I hate that I know she couldn't wait for me to leave so that she could continue!!!!

                            Steady, Damo, we are doing far better than we give ourselves credit for.
                            Though my problems still exist, I have less of them. And the ones I do have I am able to deal with healthily.

                            I am losing weight, I have energy, and I am far more productive than I have ever been.
                            Everyone has issues, ours just happens to be alcohol.

                            I was watching that show Hoarders, they have an issue too. I saw a preview for that strange addiction show and there's a woman on there that is addicted to drinking her own urine. URINE. Some are anorexic or bulimic. Some are eatimg dirt. Sex addicts. Gambling. Picking out their eyebrows.

                            NOBODY is normal. Normal people are fucking weird.

                              People drinking their own urine and picking at their eyebrows are NOT normal. These are pathological issues that need to be addressed in their own contexts.

                                Of course it's not normal! It's scary and dangerous.
                                But think of how isolated they feel. I bet there's no MWO for drinking gasoline.
                                I didn't mean to imply that it is normal. Nor is drinking our faces off despite negative consequences.
