Thanks Daisy and sorry about that. I couldn't figure out how to do a 'quote' box like I see other people do so I just copy/paste and hope it looks OK

That 'Quote' definitely looked screwy...:nutso::
Still not certain were to hit the quote button but I'll play around with it.

Thanks
And hugs,

Fantastic Reminders Here

This thread is so valuable to me right now as I've been trying to moderate - yeah, and most of you know how that's been going - so on day two of "The Quit"

Must add some of mine:

I hate alcohol and what I've done to myself because: my sister told me that when her daughter was a baby she was afraid to let me hold her because I was always drunk and might drop her (and I thought I was "high functioning"!!)

One night I was passed out, doors locked, and my teenaged daughter was still out without me realizing it. She had to break in the front door to get in....and I heard nothing. I don't even remember to this day what we did about the door frame....

I made a pass at one of my husbands friends at a party, had to call up next day and say sorry - to this day I have NO recall of it. So weird apologizing for something I simply blacked out.

What I have been hating just recently is having to sneak into the bathroom and plaster more foundation on my nose because it gets redder and redder with each sip of wine - who am I fooling? And this is "moderation?"

I like this idea
I hate that I let everyone down because I know after the first drink its over.
I hate that I think driving to go get more is a good idea.
I hate that I cant function the next day after a night of shenanigans.
I hate that I hate myself.

Hey Zen, don't you just love that word: shenanigans!!

More things I hate about being drunk: I can't talk properly, slur my words, can't think straight, and can't walk straight - oh and my nose gets bright red - soooooo attractive. And very hard to hide these pretty little effects too!!!!

i've also gone through a period thinking i could moderate.
last week i had an evening with my daughters--7 and 10. i'd so been looking forward to having a girls night as had they. they were playing and for some reason i thought about how nice it would be to have a glass of wine. i got a bottle and over the next couple of hours i drank it--interacting with them, but never leaving the glass. the next morning i was walking with them, taking them to their dad's house--i had quite a headache and felt fuzzy. we were chatting and out of the blue my eldest daughter looked at me and said, "mama, i think you are the perfect woman." then she went on to tell me why.
i felt so sad. so unworthy. so dishonest. I HATE THAT!!!!

Oh.... So many thngs to hate about drinking. Making an idiot of myself, having sex when I don't want to. Then not remembering it when I do want to. I think the thing I hate the most,is the constant background feeling of lack of hope. And the accompanying low grade depression... And the feeling that my soul is dirty.

WOW this is the best thread ever, I am getting chills reading all of this and shivers relating to all of this. I emailed a really good list to myself from page two and just made it my phones screen saver. Hopefully it will stop me from stopping at the store today on the way home...................
I was going to write what I hate but for some reason I just froze up and cant........

I hate looking back at my previous attempts, knowing my brother was still alive then. I wish he was still with me and we could do this together.
I hate that I've changed my mind so many times about being sober.
I hate the look on my husbands face when he sees wine in my hand again
I hate the overwhelming grief I feel over my brother's death and still wanting to drink it all away
I hate what I've become
I hate the cycle, my mother, my brother, me, my sister. It needs to be over.

Ok, had a pretty good week and think I can belt out just of few of my hates:

Hate passing out then waking up 2-3 hours later and cant sleep due to anxiety and sweats
Hate spending first 5 hours of day hung over
Hate the weight gain
Hate that the liquor makes my teeth very sensitive to the point I do not wanna sing along to radio in my car (which I LOVE to do) because it hurts too bad
Hate how seedy the people are around the liquor store and realizing I am just as bad as any of them
Hate lying to family
Hate forgetting the night before
hate waiting to hear from hubby in the AM to see if he is mad at me or not
hate missing out on life and drinking my weekends away
hate that throwing up is a good thing in the sense that now I can drink more
hate when I forgot to throw out an empty and fear someone will find it while I am at work
hate that I let my appearance go
Wow I could go on forever, but you guys have heard or lived them all, this page really really helped me last Wednesday - read it half the day and was the first time I passed up the liquor store in a VERY long time, passed up again Thursday then again Friday (but on Friday wound up going back out to it) skipped it Saturday and Sunday!!!!!!! Feeling great, going to keep checking in here and reminding myself, but think I may spend sometime in threads that talk about being glad or grateful as well!

I hate that Alcohol robbed me of so many precious hours of my life.

I hate that no matter how much I drink, I still end up... scared to death or incredibly anxious or completely devasted or really angry or really sad or.......fill in the emotional blank.

So I get five minutes of a quiet mind and hours and hours of turmoil. :bangull

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise though.
