Interesting observation
If I made the same effort to stay sober as much as I make the effort to hide my drink and empty bottles I would be sober now

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

Its so much work to drink. And it is not even worth it in the end...only causing misery.

Takes a lot of work being an active alcoholic. A normal drinker wouldn't understand that, but the amount of planning is unbelievable. It's pretty much a 24/7 job. John

Good point. If I made as much effort around getting clean than using, I would be like a Jnr Dee

Being an Alcoholic is a lot of work plain and simple

Maintenance of my sobriety is a piece of cake compared to active alcoholism
