      Trying to capture something that is not there anymore and ending up going to bed (passing out?) at 9 or 9:30 just to wake up at 3:00 a.m. worrying and tossing and turning.

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

        I hate having to take care of hangovers and feeling tired the day after drinking.

        The expense.

        The lazyness.

        The lies.

        The cravings.

        Going against my faith.

        Promising to quit AL hungover but when better forget how a hangover feels and does it again.

        BEING AF ROCKS!
        I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

        Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

        Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

          This is my favorite thread. I always forget a few days after my last binge how terrible, ashamed, and miserable I felt. I'm only on day 5 ( again), but I've been reading a few pages of this thread everyday just as a reminder that I never have to feel that bad again...as long as I don't drink. Thanks to all for posting.

            I hate that it was something I lead myself to believe was very sophisticated and cool, all the while wrecking my health. I hate that it took my sister. Thank God for recovery.

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

              I hate the fact that I have had to miss church services because I was too hungover to go.
              I hate that everytime I hear that my mom has to work a double that my first thoughts go to drinking.
              I hate having urges and cravings to drink.
              I hate caving in.
              I hate hangovers.
              I hate embarrassing at a restaurant by making a mess of myself after a night of drinking (my group went to Perkins after the bar closed one night).
              I hate sleeping off and on the day after.
              I hate the time wasted, the things that I could of done rather then drinking/nursing a hangover.
              I hate having to start at Day 1 over and over.
              I hate that even quitting smoking was harder, that at least it took me 2 tries to quit smoking and not so many times that I forgot the amount of tries to quit drinking.
              I hate having my mom worrying about me and my drinking.
              I hate it when one time at a birthday party my niece was worried about my drinking, she thought that I had enough and took me home although I knew that I could have more and ended up having 4 more beers after I got home.
              I hate the fact that although I love being sober and waking up hangover free, I still go out and drink too much.
              I hate the amount of times that I drank.
              I hate the amount of times that I had to change my mod plans.
              I hate that I decided to mod and not continue to fight this.
              I hate delaying getting my homework/studying done due to nursing a hangover.


              I know I already posted once, but I thought of some more reasons why I hate AL.
              Day 2 (nearly day 3)
              I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

                New here, but totally agree. And there are so many others I can relate too--3:00 naps, and in my case, "mom, why are you asleep"? "I told you that yesterday". Ugh.

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

                    I just realized that I hate the fact that our friends see us as the party couple.

                    We are having a friend over for lunch tomorrow and I am thinking of ways not to mention alcohol.

                    And I hate realizing that maybe my husband is an alcoholic that wont do anything about it.

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

                          Day 12.

                          I hate feeling like a second hand citizen.
                          I hate rotating liquor stores.
                          I hate the pure insanity of waking up and saying "this can never happen again", then formulating my plan throughout the day only to do it again.
                          I hate fighting with myself as I drive past the liquor stores. "should I stop, no I shouldn't stop. Well if I decide to stop there's another one up ahead. Ok well maybe I'll just get the small bottle of wine. Ya know, even though I bought the wine I don't have to drink the wine. (then I get the wine home) POP!
                          I hate that so much of my sons childhood I have been drinking.
                          I hate that he asks "is this safe" before taking a sip of anything.
                          I hate black outs and have stopped trying to figure out what I did during them.
                          I hate that my boss and coworkers treat me differently now. (eff them, watch me bitches)
                          I hate that I can be everyone's everything, that I can be so highly functional, a supervisor, the matriarch of my entire family... But I can't just let these feelings of alcohol be still.
                          I hate that my mother has been in long term rehab for 7 years because she keeps relapsing and that doesn't stop me. Actually I resent her.
                          I hate that my brother wrecked his motorcycle so drunk that he was life flighted to a trauma center with 30 broken bones where he remained in intensive care after three surgeries for 6 weeks. I hate that I took care of him every day and continued to drink.
                          I hate the way my personality changes when I drink.
                          I hate alcohol and what it has done to me and my family members.
                          Day 1 again 11/5/19
                          Goal 1: 7 days :heartbeat:
                          Goal 2: 14 days :happy2:
                          Goal 3: 21 days :happy2:
                          11/27/19: messed up but back on track
                          12/14/19: bad doozy but back on track

                          One day at a time.

                            The phone ringing. Should I answer and hope I don't slur my words, or avoid the call and come up with yet another innocent excuse for why I missed the call? The worst? Deciding to skip the call and seeing I have a message from one of my grown kids. Something important is going on in their life and they need me - please call as soon as you get this message.

                            I'm ashamed to say sometimes I sobered up enough to return the call, but often I waited to the next day so I could keep on drinking.

                              I hate everything AL makes me feel and do. I don't drink everyday. I can go 10 days or more then that thought creeps in and takes over my whole being. I black out. I hate those black outs. Loathe. I loathe drinking. I just wish I can remember how much I hate it.

                              I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing. ~Agatha Christie

                                Me too

                                To all of the above and to add another one:

                                The invasive, sharp and immediate horror as I wake up every morning with the same thought
                                " I did the same thing again last night"

                                Oh the repetition, so so dull

                                Finish, enough

                                Take Care
