It's four months AF today but I'm feeling kinda' grumpy. I am coming to terms with the fact that just "not drinking" is not enough. When I drank, I was the "Hollow Man" with grand plans but never living up to my own expectations. All I had to do was (A) stop drinking and then (B) everything would work out fine. Well...not yet. Even with all my positive, smiling, good will, sometimes life still kicks me in the ass! (Insert relapse here.) No, not gonna' do that! I'll keep working on the attitude.
In addition to numbing the pain, alcohol provides a good excuse for one's failures. Without alcohol, the responsibility is all mine. :upset:
