The reason I ask is because in my previous failed attempts at sobriety I would have said the same thing. What that meant for myself is "I want to continue getting absolutely plastered 24/7 but magically I want zero repercussions as a result of getting plastered 24/7".
Interesting question. I’m really thinking about it. I miss the excitement of knowing - in one hour relaxation (drinking) begins. It’s almost like I could start breathing then. It’s strange to have to almost live in a place of Zen and not instead work up to that feeling of relief at drinking time. When you’re sort of living in a place of peace, i appreciate that peace less, because I don’t have a direct reminder of the discomfort. Does that make sense?? Also, I miss the silly laughing that comes along with drinking wine. The celebratory, carefree feeling that is just different when you are sober. So, any advice?? Really.
