What I don't miss:
My entire day revolving around alcohol
Not being able to find my car in the morning Horrible Hangovers
Vomiting everyday in the toilet or the shower. Or at work. Or in the parking lot at work.
Night sweats, pounding heartbeat, and shaking hands
Panic attacks when withdrawing
Drinking to get thru the hangover
Not remembering who I was with or where I was the night before or how I made it home
Falling down. Really messed a knee up one time. Going to different liqueur stores to spread it around and hopefully they wouldn't catch on to my problem
Feeling the need to drink at work and putting my job in jeopardy
Not remembering entire conversations with hubby, kids, friends, or even my boss.
Not remembering meeting people
Hiding bottles in my closet, car, kitchen, bathroom, purse, etc
Having to throw the empties out when no one was home, hoping the neighbors didn't see or hear
Being nicknamed Boozer
Not surfing because of a hangover. I don't recommend surfing with one...
Not working out or working out with a buzz or hangover
Having to drink to go on my walk in the morning with friends
Having to drink to go out
Having to drink to get out of bed
Having to drink to drink
Telling the boys they couldn't have a drink of my "soda" IN THE CAR
That disappointed look on hubby's face when he realized I'd been drinking when I said I wasn't. Lying about where I'd been all day or how much I'd had to drink
All the fights with hubby because of my drinking Neglecting my boys
Neglecting my husband
Neglecting my dog
Neglecting myself
Hanging out only with drunks
Looking down on people who didn't drink
Getting angry if hubby wanted to go eat somewhere that didn't serve alcohol
Knowing the alcohol content in every beer and bottle of vodka
Having to eat a mint every time I wanted to talk to someone
Not accomplishing daily tasks because it took time out of drinking
Avoiding life instead of living it
Wasting my days being wasted
(This list keeps me moving forward)
