The Movie Yesterday, I sat in my living room with my family for 2 hours and watched a movie from start to finish without getting up once. To most people this would not be a big deal. But over the years when I was drinking I never could do this. I would have to stop the movie every 15 minutes to get another beer or fix another drink. Not to mention stopping the movie several times to go to the bathroom. I can't even imagine the number of movies I never finished because I passed out or I was too drunk to comprehend it. It feels good to be living in the real world rather than in a drunken haze. |
For me, I enjoy a movie, meal, game or whatever for it is now. In the past, it was an excuse to drink. I would get angry when people ordered dessert as it delayed leaving the restaurant and getting to the pub!! |
Simple, better - peaceful engagement. Good stuff! |
I am actually re-watching my favorite movies. Somehow I don't remember the ends of them!! |

After I got sober, I noticed all these movies on Netflix that I apparenlty started but never finished. More than half of them I had no recollection of whatsoever. |
Exactly! Watching a movie and remembering how it ended was actually a new concept to me after my drinking days. Beats having to rewatch the same thing several times. |
To most people this would not be a big deal. prolly for non alcoholics, but just about all of us can relate wait til ya watch a movie ya thought ya watched while you were drinkin. |
