Things you dont miss now your sober
I was in Marks & Spencer the other day with my wife, changing a really dodgy jumper someone had bought me for Christmas, Lol.. Anyway, We needed to get a few bits for our dinner so we entered the food hall and I happened to pick up on an argument this guy was having with his wife.
It went something like this..
Her: How many bottles of wine ARE you getting?!!
Him: Why? Just the normal, what's the problem?
Her: Come on, you don't really need all that wine.
Him: For gods sake, give it a rest will ya, its Saturday night.
Her: Sigh ~ (disappointed look on her face)
Him: OH! Ok I'll put them back if that makes you happy!!
Her: No No Its alri..
Him: YOU ARE forever having a go, its not like I drink all the time!!
Her: Sorry, get them if you want (sad, dejected look on her face)
It made me laugh at first because I had been in this situation so many times! Always claiming my innocence and making out that I was being hard done by. Thinking about it though, its quite sad. I feel really sorry for her. She is trying to stop him drinking and she's totally powerless and is made to feel guilty. Alcohol is such a manipulative thing, it controls us beyond belief.
I'm so so glad I'm not that person anymore and I can sleep at night knowing I'm being true to those who love me.
