What I don't miss about alcohol

[moni]

I'm sure it's been done before so apologies in advance. Just thought a quick reminder would be fun and motivational. I'll start the ball rolling...

My phone bill
Switching my phone on in the morning (normally the battery would have died the night before)

What I don't miss about alcohol

Can we make this one awesome list that we just keep adding to?

SO....

My phone bill
Switching my phone on in the morning (normally the battery would have died the night before)
Spending most mornings despising how I feel
Checking emails and texts in the morning

What I don't miss about alcohol

Waking up in my pj's and not jeans and a shirt
Waking up without having a sinking feeling of oh shit what have I done
Waking up with my partner actually smiling
Having money in my bank
The Shakes
Dont have to lie about where I am

I could go on for ever but I will give other people a chance

Waking with that feeling of self-disgust and shame
The horrible taste in my mouth
Having to get rid of the empties
Avoiding people

Waking with that feeling of self-disgust and shame
The horrible taste in my mouth
Having to get rid of the emptieoiding people

The planning: where is it cheap? How much can I afford and how quickly can I drink it
The lies: where I was who I was with and why does the house look like the aftermath of a teeenage rampage
Where is my phone, purse, handbag and dignity
The knowledge I am still too drunk to drive but do so anyway
The injuries where I have "accidentally" fallen but no memory. Of doing so

worrying about getting stopped every morning by police in case I,m over the limit
planning everything I do around having access to beer
not going to the theatre,movies or concerts because there would be to much of a break between beers
telling my wife I,m going out for a 6 pack and hiding another one in the car til she's gone to bed

That bloated feeling in my stomach
The panic to try hard to remember the last thing that happened
Hearing from my DH how mean I can be

[NewOne]

What I don't miss about alcohol

Thinking that the only way out is suicide.

The vast amount of time wasted just sitting around getting wasted

[Mootsbill]

What I don't miss about alcohol

All of the above and;

Anxiety and depression
Violent vomiting for hours on end
Lying to my family
Drinking at work!
Drinking in the morning
