Thanks Gilmer, I do wonder how I would have reacted if I had been tipsy too. If I would have reacted badly and fought fire with fire or made a stupid joke out of it that he wouldn't have found funny in that type of rage.
It would most definitely have been one of those two; I was almost always either a cocky, aggressive drunk or a cocky, wise cracking drunk. But sober me minded my own business, got on with my job and remained calm. Like you said, I kept my nose clean which is a relieving feeling
Excuse me while I just polish my halo here!
Quitnow4, do you think your alcohol voice is maybe romaticising drinking a little to try and reel you in again? In the pub I see the regulars having a few pints, chatting with their mates and never getting tipsy, just relaxed. Or people enjoying a glass (
A glass, madness!) of wine with their dinner.
It is hard not to miss booze when you watch 'normal' drinkers who drink because they are enjoying it, not because they
have/need to. I just remind myself I am not like them and never will be again. The ability to have a few drinks before going home and not having any more is loooooooong behind me.
Take a drive through any town centre after 2am and the ugly reality shows. Nothing good happens after 2am when alcohol is involved.
