[/QUOTE] 1) I not so much afraid to quit drinking (maybe I am). Whats happening to me now is I'm looking at every situation in the future or things I took for granted with drinking and saying, "Holy ****, how am I going to golf, go to parties or anything that I've done socially
feeling this naked". How did/do you deal with that?
I'm sure there's book that can and are written on this but any feedback on this would help.
Thank you.[/QUOTE]
That is how we feel, isn't it? Yet I never regret my behavior in situations when I'm sober compared to when I'm drunk. I might misspeak or be a little impatient or inconsiderate when sober, but when I'm drunk a switch often flips in my head and I try to push the limits of decorum just to see what I can get away with, like I'm showing off the "real me."
So for me it's a matter having a little discomfort in the moment when sober, versus having a "good" time drunk and wanting to crawl in a hole and die of embarrassment the next day.
