One Week Sober today
I feel well and I don't have any huge desire to drink nor is my mind going off on its own to glamorize drinking.
I feel this book is helping me alot see through my denial ways of thinking about alcohol. Quit Drinking the EasyWay.
I have always known how bad alcohol is but reading about it to where it makes sense is a good thing.
Of course I worry about the future but I am just doing it one day at a time. Last night I felt uneasy and usually I would want to drink to change the way I felt because when I get a boredom feeling or antsy feeling or just when I feel unsettled I usually drink. Even if I have a headache I would drink thinking that would change the way I feel and YEAH it does change the way I feel ---- for three damn days it does!!!
I'm sick of being hungover and I am sick of drinking booze. It is disgusting to me.
I am an addict so of course i was lying to myself about alcohol.
I'm hoping to never come back to this site saying I drank or this or that having to do with being hungover etc.
I realised that the last three days missed from work have been because of a hangover!! NOT a good thing eh.
I believe I can enjoy vacations and my life much more without adding alcohol in my life.
I wrote a list of positives and negatives and there were no positives to drinking except the first 1/2 hour and THAT isn't even fun anymore because I feel so guilty for starting to drink that it takes what 'fun' there was in drinking out... so then I overdrink to make up for my guilty feelings of drinking and it goes no where but down.
I have to realise drinking will never be normal again for me.
