      oh my Nursie I hear you big time

      today I swing between sane to a snarling beast in about 2 mins flat when something is annoying.

      Hubbie decided he would cook lunch 2 hours after brekkie, which translated into me cooking it because it was being made from scratch and he mucked it up

      Normally I would try and be nice about it, but theres many swear words being thrown around today.

        I hear you Steady Hands. When my kids start screaming and disobeying, all I want to do is drink so I can escape the drama. I want my husband to just deal with it all. I get so pissed off and grouchy. I am hoping it will get better as the days go by The sound does seem intensified when I am AF

          I hate it when people still judge you even though you are no longer drinking.
          I hate the remarks about alcohol and passive aggressive comments about what I've done. Misconceptions about what I am even dealing with.
          I hate that people sit in judgement and bathe in ignorance and hypocracy.
          I have been on both sides, the wife with the alcoholic husband and the daughter of alcoholic parents and step parents, cousins, siblings, uncles, etc. When I deal with alcoholics in my life, I worry, I try to control, I set boundaries that they are not permitted to cross.
          As an alcoholic, I can't get away from myself. I have to deal with me, my cravings, my sobriety, and also worry about their judgement, worry and mistrust.

          I get that I drank too much. That bad things happened. I know more than them because I had to live with myself.

          Let's move the fuck on.

            I hate that when I admitted to my sister that I had stopped drinking, she seemed so self-righteous. Although she congratulated me, she had to throw in that everyone in the family knew something was wrong with me. As if she doesn't know that I know that she drinks to excess too, on the weekends and has said and did some pretty stupid things too! But, she can keep it to the weekends, so she's a feckin saint.

              I hate this ADJUSTING to everything!! I've been drunk/ hungover my entire adult life and now have to ADJUST to all the stupid little things while sober. Never noticed these small things before.
              I now have the ability to arrive early.... what the hell do you talk to people about???!!!

              Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.

                LibGirl, I am so with you on this one. I done the same thing with a friend. The same friend, who, after a night out, threw up over my car, then her own bed and floor, tried to argue with me, and in her drunken state, had her bits exposed to her older teenage son as we tried to get her to bed............she text me only a month or so ago to ask me how I was getting on with my 'drinking'!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!! I haven't done what she done but because she is not a regular drinker, there is a superiority thing there - all I can say is 'kid yourself all you like, at least I can see what my problem is.'
                This also applies to most of my family who I believe are alcoholics, but because I continue to try to stop, I can be the 'nominated' alco of the house. I don't really care because I'm going forward.....rant over!!!!!!
                IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BE WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN
                Relapse starts long before the drink is drunk!!.Fresh Start!

                  I hear all of you too.
                  They treat us differently when we quit, like "oh she has a PROBLEM". It infuriates me. It's ok to SEE I have a problem and I can't control my drinking, but when I QUIT I have a problem....

                  There is no problem if I don't drink. I have removed it. If I drink, then there are problems.

                  Everybody was happy when I quit smoking. But quitting drinking is like a big secret. I hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

                    Great Post Nursie! I hate that I have wasted a big chunk of my life to AL and have just begun to realize that as a sober being. I hate that my mother still drinks and my husband still drinks and part of my relationship when I was drinking was a special connection with them (mostly her) because of AL. Although, on the positive side, mom and I have joined a gym together and work out together about 3 times a week! I haven't had to deal with a family get together (where everyone drinks!) and that will prolly not happen till this coming Easter. I hate that I have to worry about that and be the only one with the exception of my teenage nephew who won't be drinking but I will not risk how far I've come in sobriety to cave in.
                    Whatever you invest in the circle of LIFE is what comes back to you. Multiplied. What you give to people is what they eventually give back to you. Don't do the math. Just increase your LOVE.

                    BE HAPPY...BE CONNECTED...BE HEALTHY!                     :h

                      I hate that sometimes I still look hungover. What the F is up with the bags under my eyes...I slept for 8 hours!! Somehow I am going to figure out a way to blame it on the residual effects of alcohol!

                      I hate that TV shows make drinking/getting drunk/throwing up try to seem funny. Anybody watch Two And A Half Men this week? If so, you'll know what I'm talking about!

                        Hi Nursie I loved your rant!

                        Here's my rant.

                        I hate that I am afraid to start!
                        I hate that I am afraid I'll fail again!

                          I hate drunk, out of control people now I'm sober.

                          I also hate those who think they can rob, steal, take other peoples belongings - or that the law doesn't apply to them. People who drive whilst using their mobile phones, and those who forget to treat others like fellow human beings ie no respect.

                          That's about it for now.
                          I used the Sinclair Method to beat my alcoholic drinking.

                          Drank within safe limits for almost 2 years

                            GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! I thought about what I might say next time I talk to her..."Are you and Jenny still drinking heavily on the weekends?? And let her act like she doesn't know what I'm talking about, lol. EVERY time I've spent time with them, and I haven't in a long time, we drink A LOT. In the summer, it's all day drinking by the pool, or the lake, then with a group at night...her gf has had some major trouble with her knee since she fell several years ago dancing (DRUNK). The two of them even got into an argument at my house, and my neighbors called the police because they were fighting in my front yard (DRUNK). Butttttttt, SHE has it together, because she never drinks on the week nights.:argh:
