Yes I do wake up with no guilt CollieMom, at least none about my drinking. I think guilt is one of my basest instincts, and I carry it around like an old friend (one I no longer really care to hang out with but don't know how to break away from).

I have however been entertaining thoughts about going back to having a few drinks one night a week. Maybe not even every week, but when I feel like it. Only no more than one night a week, if that, and none on work nights.

I'm not sure if that's something I should even be considering, but I have. At this moment, I don't feel the urge at all to drink.

RANT: When will I be normal?

Good point Nursie...dang wierdo "normies", who needs them? lol

I guess my rant for the day is that I have 12.4 million fleas in my house. I know, it's not alcohol related, but it would have been enough for me to drink over...you know if you're passed out you don't care WHATS crawling on you (or WHO). LOL

Oh K9, I would have drank over that too in the old days. And then I would have drank over who was crawling on me because I drank over WHAT was crawling on me lol.

Sammi, I know that feeling. But you know Al is not your friend. Al is the bitch that pretends to be your friend just so she can fuck up your life some more. LIES! She can't be trusted. We have to all get tattoos "No HELL no!"

Sugarbeat- coulda woulda shoulda fuckit. You're sober now. Nobody can take that from you. Don't let those thoughts Rent any more space in your mind. EVICTED!

I have no rants today. I am happily sober and loving it.

RANT: I hate that I still have a lot of issues and anger. I also hate that I cannot afford a therapist (if I had the guts to see one in the first place). My insurance is poop and I end up paying 90% of all visits (to any physician, Dentist, etc.).

Sammi,
If someone stole your money, abused you physically and mentally, forced you to do and say things you didn't want or mean to do...would you call that person a friend? That's what alcohol does. Kick that bitch to the curb.

I am new here...:new:
I love this thread!

I hate the fact today is my first day again
I hate that the second day usually puts me in the mood to drink because I want to reward myself for not drinking a day
I hate that I have to be on this site suffering through work
I hate that I want to commit myself and not have to work so hard at not drinking something...seems kind of dumb...
I hate I have to be the one to say no.
I hate that I want to quit so bad but yet I keeping doing over and over again.
I hate that I gained 30lbs
:upset:
Thank you all for listening that felt great!

Hi Honeysoup!

Welcome! We're glad to have you here. You should check out the Newbies Nest for lots of great support and advice. I can totally relate to your post. It should NOT be so hard to quit something that's so miserable! But you CAN do it, hang in there and get a few sober days under your belt. Keep posting and let us know how you are!

Hi everyone -

Honeysoup - we can all relate to that post. I have lost 10 lbs after I quit drinking - and still have another 15 or so to go but I already feel so much better! The sober life rocks.

K9 - I hate that my hair is a frizzy mess too - all the time because I live in Humid Florida! And I need to get my highlights redone because my roots are starting to look bad. I hate that! LOL.

Mylife - LOL @ your roots...I am jealous though because you can actually afford to get it done. My hair shade is called "Whatevers-On-Sale-At-Walmart"

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

Well K9 - one of the reasons my roots are so bad is I can only afford to get those hilites done every couple months or so LOL. So toward the end it looks like a bit of a mess! I should just give it up and go natural! NOT.
