I hate it when people call your number at work looking for a phone number, so you look it up for them and are all ready to read it off, and the person says "Hold on, let me get a pen"....UMMMM, didn't you call ME looking for the number? Have your damn pen ready!

I also hate customers that annoy me from the first second they walk up to my counter. Some people just annoy me by breathing. Once you're on my sh*t list, you're not getting off anytime soon. LOL

Bring on your complaints bitches...don't make me be the only one! hehe

Now I feel everything, and I overpersonalize everything. Everything at work is about me, or I should be able to fix it. If I do something wrong I try to do ten things to prove I am worthy.

I hate that.

I hate that I am craving foods that are bad for me.

I don't like that I have my sober life planned out in one minute but it can change in a heartbeat if I take one drink.

I don't like that people look down on me now, NOW that they know I quit. But was ok when I was drunk, blacked out, fighting with full grown men, breaking pool sticks, wrecking cars, flashing bartenders, taking home whom ever I felt like, and drinking wine every single day. That was ok?

I don't like being constipated lol.

I don't like cravings.

I don't like the bitch who brings around the wine for samples at the Olive Garden. I'm not going there anymore because of that until I am stronger.

I DO like that these are all temporary, but it felt good to get that off my chest!

Wait...you mean all of these are because of AL? I thought it was just me and my horrible personality that I am a loser nobody wants anything to do with me except "The Wine Girl at Olive Garden" Grief....at least now it's the good kind.

I don't like obsessing about myself either...but I did it drunk too, and the results weren't pretty, lol.

I don't like that I'm still so tired sometimes during the day because I feel like I'm not getting "enough" out of my day if I go to bed early, lol. Today I felt like it was one of my drinking day-afters again at work, as I was almost comatose at my desk. It didn't help that my tooth was throbbing.

The good thing is, I don't have as many complaints about being sober as I did a month ago.

LOL LG, I think next time someone offers me a drink, instead of the usual battle, I'm going to say "No thank you, I'm a vegetarian"...that'll make em think!

Great Rant!

Great Rant Nursie.

Why do people bug you when you don't drink? I am slowing down my drinking and only want to sip wine when out with friends.

But a few weeks ago we were at a pool in Arizona and there was one Mormon couple with us. Man, everywhere we went , they were harassed cuz they wanted lemonade.

Us ladies were by the pool and me and another lady ordered a drink, the LDS lady ordered lemonade and he harassed her soo much that I finally told him that she doesn't like alcohol and he backed off.

Anyways, I really want to give it up!!!! HUgs Nursie and everyone else.
