ctrl once posted something that got me thinking about this.

Something like: "I am thankful for my alcoholism"

His point was that without it, he would liklely still be drinking (or attmepting to drink) in moderation and missing all that his eyes have opened up to in a sober world. I found that to be a productive way of looking at things.

I don't miss anything about driniking at this point and I am finding sobriety to be a nice way to spend the day.

Anyway, it's tough for me to be envious of those who don't hae the disease. I can't compare my self to them simply because my relationship with alcohol is different than theirs. They don't think like we do. They can generally take it or leave it. But not me. I just take it.

I'm trying to accept that fate now and move on.

Feeling pretty good on day 10..
