Now I'm just hyper-critical of myself every time I'm drunk.

Apparently, I'm a 'loser' and a 'total ****-up.' I know I'm not but that's my inner voice lately while I'm drinking.

Weird.

Another incentive to stop I suppose.

My liquid courage was basically. Liquid "make a total as$ of myself'

I think once we get a small peak at what it is like to be sober or just the willingness to be sober we can't unsee it.

Liquor gave me courage when I controlled it. But I suppose that courage was merely a lack of awareness. It did help me deal with people, but I never could leave it at that.

Ah yes the Dutch came up with this brilliant idea of liquid courage for troops about to go over the line.
That was in 1650 and much has changed since then eh?
I remember when everyone had an ashtray in the middle of the desk at work...

Maybe we are progressing.
I know I am when I figured out that alcohol does absolutley nothing but it will take all.

I hope you find sobriety and that it takes you as it did me.

The courage to quit comes from within.

Alcohol made me suicidal. I am pretty sure those thoughts wouldn't have been so strong if it wasn't for the booze.
