This is a wonderful thread. I'm only on day 6. So far I don't miss the tired routine of buying alcohol, bringing it home and starting the whole process.
I don't miss the auditory hallucinations on Sunday nights 11pm after a weekend of hard drinking.
I don't miss the body heat, especially in my legs, as I lay in bed trying to sleep. I like a cool bed and room to sleep, not the oven created by hangovers/withdrawals.
I don't miss not being at my best. Alcohol is like a choke chain that constricts success.
I won't miss the idea of being a drinker. A drinker. I shudder at that badge. A guy that sits around wasting precious time telling dumb stories and slowly killing himself.
My username, CLAS, stands for "Clean, Lean, Athletic, Sober." Without alcohol I can reach this goal. I'm done being a drinker. Done.
