Not casting aspersions upon anyone else here but I wasn't particularly emotionally mature when I got sober so yeah, I was envious of drinkers...heck I was downright jealous.
It seemed unfair to me they could do something I couldn't...and What seemed worse was they took it all for granted.
Another part of me was really down on myself over all the stunts I pulled and the embarrassing things I did...so I had a very low threshhold for drunk talk or drunk BS.
I don't think I was very good company for drinkers for a while.....
But...I changed, I grew, and I worked out that I wanted to be sober...I preferred life this way...
I wasn't angry at drinkers anymore, nor did I feel contempt, or envy
I feel compassion for drinkers like me now - but no pity cos I know they have the same chance of changing their lives as I did mine, if they want.
