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

        MY,
        I can tell this is going to be an important thread for me. Wish I did better with things I love about me, but right now, I need motivation to squash the things I hate.

        Waking early in the morning feeling like a loser is not a good way to start my day.
        My zen friends say,' open your eyes and smile ', it will work even if it's fake.
        Ya know, it does a bit...at least slow down the pity party.

          These are great..i can relate to all. My biggest fear is when my kids grow up, will they just remember me drinking??? I'm hoping it's not too late. Today was my first day not drinking. Off to bed soon, hope I can sleep.
          Every day is not 100%, however, it is 100% better than my best day of drinking..

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

            1. Waking up and hating myself for not quitting after just a couple of glasses.
            2. Hate the hiding of the bottles of wine and wine glasses so my DH won't find them.
            3. Hate forgetting things that I said to the kids when I had too much to drink.
            4. Hate passing out while watching my favorite TV show.
            5. Hated the sweating, bloated feeling and weight gain. I have gained probably 50 pounds because of drinking and then binging when drunk.
            6. Hate all the wasted money on wine and beer.
            ODAT!

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

              That I do whatever I want and say whatever I want....my filter is lost.

              That I get too emotional.

              That I let it rule my life when I need to be the one ruling it.

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

                      the turning inward
                      the loss of my inner freedom
                      the loss of the true me
                      Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them, but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

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

                          The money spent and lost.
                          The weight gained.
                          The blackouts.
                          Waking up in the morning and finding bruises all over my legs from bumping into things and not remembering I did it.
                          The inability to concentrate on anything anymore at anytime...

                            To repeat a few . . .
                            Waking up at 2 am with a splitting headache
                            Loss of self-respect
                            Slower mentally at work the next day
                            Becoming overly emotional
                            The normal depression turning further inward to thoughts of suicide
                            Knowing a friend can't count on me for an emergency late at night because I'm too impaired
                            Sending stupid e-mails (which unfortunately I remember) and feeling humiliated the next day (as beaches described the filter is lost)
                            People cutting off communication with me
                            And I think medition mamas comments are worth repeating, "the turning inward; the loss of my inner freedom the loss of the true me"

                              Great thread. Putting this in my PLAN to read daily.

                              ditto to all the above.

                              lying. hiding. sneaking. making a fool of myself to the neighbors.
                              the druken phone calls. forgetting. hubby or son finding moldy half-drunk beer/wine in remote places.
                              loss of self-esteem, loss of energy.panic attacks. paranoia. abrasions, scrapes, bruises. falling down in my driveway.

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

                                I used to:

                                1. Feel totally out of control over my drinking.
                                2. Therefore, try desparately to control everything and everyone around me.
                                3. Be frustrated when my control efforts didn't work.
                                4. Drink.
                                (and of course, repeat)

                                What a hamster wheel of life that was. I'm SO grateful to be off of that wheel today!
