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

    fall down 7 stand up 8

    some kind of proverb i read...but i can relate to your predictiment..havn't u noticed b4 how peoples human nature likes it when u fail??? You must be a well grounded and intelligent person to pick up the lack of "u go girl/guy" comments u thought would come your way...Maybe u r doubtful of the reason u quit,,,was it for you & your health, loved ones? or were expecting pats on the back , cheers and comradarie..??? I am very proud of you... instead of People Magazine running those "half their size" articles we should get them to run some...I QUIT Abusing Myself articles...meanwhile I indulge everynight..hate myself in the morning... chastise myself all day & repeat the process... its my daily "get a way"

          Dear Alcohol,
          I fucking hate you. You ruined my mother. You ruined my childhood. You annihilated my innocence. Once I was out of the house, you made me choose alcoholic men so you could still be close to me. You made me be a mother to my own mother. You made me think for years I could help these alcoholics in my life who drained the breath from me. And once I was safely away from those relationships, that's when you really dug your claws into me. I didn't even realize what an insidious fucking snake you are, that when I was finally free from being a victim of other people's alcoholism, you had taken me and my brother for yourself. You turned us into the very thing we hate and despise and I can't find you to wrap my hands around your neck and strangle the life out of you like you have done to my family. You laugh while we do all of those things we despised in our parents growing up. You delight when we wreck our cars, get arrested, lose the respect of our friends, co-workers, families and children. It turns you on when we crave you just by thinking about you, or looking at you.

          I got two words. FUCK YOU.
          It stops here. You cannot steal my joy, or my kids childhood. The cycle ends.
          Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

          No love,
          Me
          Love it, Nursie! You tell 'em. Bitch.

          Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

              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.

              Exactly               what whacky Wally said!
              Sorry, MB.. just read about the kitty now :upset:

                Yo Bitches and Bastards, (have to include the fellas)

                Feel free to write your own letters to Al here. It is very cathartic!

                Dear Alcohol,
                I hate your existence. I hate your trickery, the smoke and mirrors. I hate that the seed got planted when I was so young grew into a thorny, ugly, sinewy vine that strangles my guts, my heart, my mind and my soul. I hate that I have to keep chopping down your suffocating vine so I can breathe, so I can live. I hate that your vine germinates more seeds that pop up when I least expect them, and so I always have to tend my garden daily.

                But guess what bitch. I love pretty flowers. And when I tend my garden every day and plant new healthy seeds, you will not have room to grow.

                    I hate that too Steady, like they don't know how to act. People are dumb. I think that's one of the biggest reasons why we don't tell people sometimes. It's the same reaction when someone dies or has cancer. Nobody really knows how to act.

                    Hello, stupid ass, I'm still the same person I was before I told you I was an alcoholic. (not your mom Steady, she's not a stupid ass! Lol)

                    We should write a book. How to treat alcoholics. I'll get started after my nails dry lol.

                      I HATE that work made me want to drink so bad that I was shaking last night.
                      I hate that when I'm really stressed out, it's still the first thing I think about. Like it's my blanket or something.

                      I did not drink. I HATE alcohol more than I want to drink it.

                        Nursie and Caper understand completely. I also hate the fact that I know I will never be able to have another glass of alcohol in my life but that there is a very small part of my very small brain that still believes it may be possible. Am AF for 36 days for the first time ever after trying to get past three days for the last three years. Good luck everyone!

                          Dear Addiction and Cancer,
                          You fuckers have no right to come near my family. You think you can tag team us now? You assholes a couple? If we leave alcohol, cancer comes slithering in to woo us back to you?
                          No. Fuck no, and fuck you.
                          Be gone from my family and my life. I will not tolerate this mind fuck that can only be evil trying to test me. I am winning. Your consolation prize is extinction.
                          No love,

                            Nursie, so proud of you for beating AL! So sorry about your friend.:l I lost my mom, dad and brother to C. I hate it almost as much as I hate AL. Close race. Stay strong friend. Alcohol makes nothing better; the alkie part of your brain wants you to think it does, but it's a lie.

                              Unwasted, I'm so sorry about your family. I am so weary from all this. I am taking care of everything with my family and speaking to oncologist and infectious disease doc. and the phone just doesn't stop...everyone wants to know every detail. I appreciate the outpouring, but I am exhausted and they keep calling and texting and facebooking and emailing and stopping over. It's all so overwhelming.
                              And of course work can't wait for me 5 minutes, I am running 80 miles an hour there too.

                              I'm scared and I'm bone tired.

                              But I'm sober bitches.

                                Nursie, too bad you can't figure out a way to streamline the information. Hoping you get some rest soon. Take good care and so proud of you for staying sober through a tough time. I wasn't during my mom's death and I sure wish I had that card to play again. Fuck cancer and Fuck Al! :lilheart:
