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

    I hate that I started smoking because of AL. I never, ever would have smoked sober. Now the bitch AL is gone and the cigs are still there! UGH, will I ever get rid of all the evils AL brought on me? Tomorrow I have to disclose my DUI on an application....it's been 12 years! I hate that alcohol's fingers stretch so far across time and still affect me to this day.
    :heart:I love my daughter more than alcohol:heart:

      I hate the fact that my acquaintance who is a recovering drug addict can talk openly about his demons and everybody mollycoddles him, makes huge allowances for him and thinks he?s a hero; yet I feel ashamed to even bring up the fact that I have a drinking problem and apart from super close friends I tell people I am not drinking because I am on meds.

        I hate that too Shue.
        Though...seems the more comfortable I become with the fact that I plan on STAYING sober, the more I feel like I may be able to disclose the fact that I quit.

        Either way, I hate drinking more than I hate not drinking!

          I hate that everyfuckingthing annoys me lately. I am SUPERbitch.
          I hate that every sound seems waytoofuckingloud. Especially at night. I just pit my hands over my ears when Mr. Nursie was talking to our son. I said "too loud!" like some psych patient.

          WTF is with the sound sensitivity? Is it the topomax? The quitting? Nerves jangled?

            I think it is a common thing when we stop drinking. I t was a bigger problem a while back, but now the sound is normal again. I just go nuts when my two kids talk at the same time - it confuses the shit of me!!! One @ a time, pleeeeeaaaase!!!
            Think we get sharper and the brain suddenly takes in everything and emotionally we are used to be so numbed up that this is pure insult to the new, fragile, sober brain...

            I hate that I can hardly stand my family and old drinking buddies anymore!! I hate the fact that I will have to build a whole new life with new people in it. It scares me and today I just want to run away...

              Ah hah

              so the sound sensitivity is normal?

              Every LITTLE noise last night kept me awake last night

              that and my brain seeming to be on full speed made for a horrid night of sleep

              But I could honestly say even a crappy sober night was more restful than a drinking one!

              At least for now - if the disturbed sleep continues I'm seriously going to have to look at pulling out the fluffy slippers and hot milk :H

                Welcome to the Ranting thread Mands...
                We refer to eachother here playfully as "Bitches" lol

                I hate that I want to drink today. I won't. But I just want to. I had a nice spa treatment, cleaned my house, did all my floors and made a beautiful dinner. Now I'm sitting back and watching my children play and wishing I had a glass of wine.

                I hate that.

                  I hate the stress! My hubby takes advantage of all my extra energy when not drinking and does not lift a finger. I work 7 days a week and am a full time housewife. When did someone put the sign "slave" on my back? Why do I only get 30 mins a day to relax and he gets 24 hrs? I hate it!

                    I hate that I'm still waking up tired, and have no time in the mornings to do the things I thought I'd do if I only didn't drink the night before. I hate that I wake up seemingly every half hour to pee during the night, whereas before, I'd sleep till morning (didn't pee the bed, thankfully, lol). I hate that I don't want to go to bed before 12 or 1 am in the morning (don't know how this is happening, lol).

                    I hate that my hair and makeup (today) looks like I got drunk last night, LMFAO!

                      That's interesting about the sound!! I thought it was just me!

                      There - I vented.

                              I hate the sound of the computer keyboard, the phone, the t.v, anybody talking loudly, the air conditioner, the refrigerator, the heater, the fan, the neighbors car, the neighbors talking. All these sounds get on my nerves....I hate the way shit pops into my head that is painful and feeling helpless to feel any other way about it.

                                I hate that I have never been into sweets much, yet since I stopped drinking I've managed to eat red velvet cupcakes, thin mint Girl Scout cookies and chocolate chip cookies. Somebody stop me!!!!!
