Funny but true

I found this article the other day called "5 Things Nobody Tells You About Quitting Drinking", This is a very funny but true article and it really helped me the other day when I read it. It literally made me LOL... 5 Things Nobody Tells You About Quitting Drinking | Cracked.com

Funny stuff. I liked the line about wanting 'to shoot that annoying guy and everyone who had failed to shoot him in the past'.

Yeah, the pooping was weird for me.. I had gotten so used to the 'sharts' that passing solid stool was an unbelievable phenomenon.
(I actually hated people more during my active alcoholic days.)

That was hysterical...and so totally true. Every part. I got so mad at my family in the first few days that I stabbed a chopstick straight through some sheetrock. I guess better that than a person.

Hilarious and so true! I never murdered anyone either but there were days I would have joyfully done so.

I never woke up with a **** drawn on my face, but once came out of blackout in a rowing boat on a municipal boating lake surrounded by helpful Policemen with German Shepherds. . . Oooops !

I can relate to that - luckily I didn't gave in to those feelings either.

Though, one of the most common traits that all researchers have noted among serial killers is heavy use of alcohol. Some people do give in - Jeffrey Dahmer even blamed the booze for all his horrible actions.
