This might be the wrong forum for this post but I joined yesterday so I still feel like a newcomer
I want to drink. This is Day 3. I wish I could bottle the feelings I have when I am hungover/detoxing so I can open it up and know exactly why I am quitting but I can’t so instead, here are the reasons I don’t want to drink:
- The utter despair and sadness I feel after a binge. Can’t stop crying for days until I drink again, starting the cycle all over again.
- The restless sleep and nightmares for 3-4 nights after my binge.
- Having to check all my methods of messaging to see who I talked to the night before and what I said.
- The calories from the booze and crappy food I eat while drunk and the few days of being hungover. My diet suffers for days.
- Dehydration. Dry scaly hands.
- Yet my skin is still breaking out.
- Laziness.
- Shame.
What are your reasons for not drinking?
At some point when I am feeling positive I will list out the pros of not drinking but I’m not feeling positive right now. Feel free to add those too though!
