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

i have AF spells and they suck cuz i have to be alone. All my friends drink and when i'm with them i justify getting drunk. My bipolar gets worse when i'm sober so that's a bummer as well,
i also know that people like me better when i'm tipsy.
I hate my life, i'm stagnating and i fear the future and my anxiety issue is worse when i go without a drink.
I think it's a good idea to rant because it's a reality i deal with and feel guilty about knowing that drinking could cost me everything and still i have reservations.

I hate that I am so scared to go AF, because it's all I've really known in my adult life.
I hate being scared of the thoughts I know I will have in the dark of the night when I have become AF again.

Hi Aliame,
I understand what you mean. The past can haunt us, and our thoughts can take us back to places we never wish to visit again. I've found that the more sober time I have, the less regret I have about the past, instead I am learning to be proud of the changes I'm making. Someone reminded me yesterday that who I am today is not the same person I was while intoxicated.
Do you have plans to become AF soon? We can help when you're ready...
Sending you strength!

Hey Bitches!!!!!
Sorry bout your kitty Mama. I hate that critter who hurt mama's kitty.
I hate that I am avoiding certain people and functions this week because I am feeling a case of the fuck-it's. I HATE that I don't trust myself to be in those situations at this particular moment in time lest I gulp something down hastily like a wild animal who has been on a desert for 24 days.

It will pass.

But I hate it.

Mama Bear I hate what happened to your Kitty, I'm really very sorry.

I hate that I haven't told anyone outside this forum that I am AF. I just slide around the subject, nobody has actually confronted me yet, and that's a good thing.

I hate that I am ashamed of being an alcoholic.

I hate that I use AL as a reward. It does nothing but make me depressed. I've been AF for 7 days until January 26. I felt great not drinking so naturally I let the bitch talk me into having some Vodka. I ended up pouring it out after realizing I didn't want anymore. If I'm going to waste it, why am I buying it. I hate AL!!
