you don't have to be miserable without alcohol
Life with alcohol for me was a miserable experience in the end .. the relief small and a whole pile of "stuff" just festering .
Sure it life sober might be miserable sometimes , thats life , especially when we've been relying on a depressant for so many years for entertainment . But it isn't as frequent or as often as when i drank .
There is a whole world of good and interesting suff going on you miss when you're drunk .
Get involved with life, get interested in something that isn't booze, stick at it ..
take care , m
