I don't even know what I need, I don't even like the idea of not drinking, because it seems to be the only time when I actually feel good.
Crazy isn't it? This disease really knows how to play tricks on us. Because the truth is, in the end, alcohol makes us feel guilty, embarrassed, depressed, sick and overall horrible. And sobriety, if you stick with it, makes all of those feelings disappear.
It's almost as if alcoholism makes us see the world upside down through an inverted lens.
I'm feeling so sad today. I drank all morning and stopped around 1pm because I have to go play basketball tonight. I'm nervous I'm going to smell like booze.
Yep know that feeling well. This being Sunday, I would usually start my binge on Friday night. Sundays and Mondays were not my friends.
The bad news is you might very well stink of booze and even if you don't I can guarantee you won't be any fun to be around. The good news is you don't have to live this way anymore. Sobriety IS an option for us all.
