Tx CS! Ha ha, I will get it. Hello to all today. I'm woke up sober and not hungover and managed to enjoy a walk before work - another thing I hate to miss when drinking. Love Ann x

What I HATE, LOATH, and JUST CAN'T STAND about drinking.

Waking up realising I have done it again
Waking up feeling digusting
Waking up still drunk
Waking up reeking of booze
Going to work reeking of booze
Avoiding being close to people at work because I know I reek of booze
When hangovers dont feel like hangovers anymore and it goes well beyond that to the point you almost feel like you are dying
Not remembering what I did
Feeling that you feel ok when you first get up (as youre still half cut) before it starts to wear off by mid morning knowing that you going to the pub at lunchtime for a drink will take the edge of it and put you back on track
The lying to my partner & myself
The dishonesty to my partner
The deviance to my partner
The sneaky-ness to my partner
The mood swings to my partner
The anger or dissapointment that we arent continuing to drink on a social occasion
The depression after heavy drinking and that you drink again to make everything better
The domino effect that every little thing with drinking has a knock on effect in every single way
Lying there the next day just wanting the digusting poision out of your body when youve woken up after drinking
Knowing and worrying that my short term memory is so bad from 10years of (and stilll) heavy drinking.

SO many more I could add which I am sure I will that I cant just think of at the moment!

Its really not got much going for it has it? :H

you sum it up so well it could be me. hope to chat to you again

Quite amazing how all of us can pretty much relate at everything single thing people have posted on this thread. So many other things to add. I think I once filled 3 A4 pieces of paper on both sides of negatives of it all!

Ive only stumbled across this site after another "Ive done it again" episode and I am really pleased I did as I was trying to find a forum where everyone was in the same boat and could understand and help each other as opposed to just online reading.

Looking forward to post and chattting with everyone and I am sure we will chat again :thumbs:

What i hate and loathe about drinking is getting to the last hour in work and thinking about nothing except getting a bottle of wine...just one, white, mixed up with soda, drank fast and with food....ahh it's like the little itchy scratch bothering me and pecking at my brain. Go away scratch.

Day 3 and it's Friday. Another thing I hate about alcohol - loving Fridays, dying on Saturdays. Got my supps, my books, my attitude and MWO, going to try to make it through to day 4.

5. I hate the 30 pounds I've gained.
6. I hate the puffy face and bloated hands and belly.
7. I hate staying in bed on a sunny beautiful morning because I'm too hungover.
8. I hate the overwhelming guilt that wakes me up too early in the morning - gnawing at my heart like a dog with a bone.

I could go on and on...I wish I could quit...

Please Spirit Girl, do not think that you cannot quit. You can, you have what it takes. We all do and it's just a desire away... Take heart and have faith. You only need to stop for one day.... That's all, one day at the time.

Blessings to you

What I HATE, LOATH, and JUST CAN'T STAND about drinking.

why I hate alcohol

I hate that I have entire conversations I cannot remember
I hate that I call anyone who will listen and I think they know how drunk I am but are too polite to say it
I hate that some people will not answer the phone when it is me calling because they presume I am drunk
I hate the lonliness
I hate the feeling of the "beyond hangover", where the depression is unbearable.
I hate fearing looking at my phone, because I am afraid to check the voicemail
I hate having to function under the lies I have told
I hate feeling chained and controled by something
I hate the way it makes others lose respect for me
