Ying and Yang
I love the feeling of drifting into an alcoholic stupor, but the thought of never drinking again attracts me more.
How do I do it ?
What gives you guys/gals the target ?

I have never drifted into a drunkeon stupor. I drank and then I drifted into walls, tables, chairs before I usually passed out face first on the cold hard tile. Fun times.

That indeed is the conundrum. That nice buzz after a few doubles. But then we dont stop. We want more of the buzz and more and more. We literally drown our own buzz. No good. The whole thing is fake, a trick. And it leaves us ultimately broken.

I just got to hate the feeling of being drunk.
I hate the false euphoria that it starts with. I hate the fuzzy head feeling. I hate the not being able to think properly, or eventually not being able walk and talk properly.
I hate blackouts. I hate passing out. I hate waking up still half drunk. I hate that the more you drink, the more you crave it, until before you know it you have been drinking for days on end. I hate drinking but not wanting to drink, not even being able to keep much of it down, but doing it to stave off the withdrawals.
But I like that now I can see that an hour of false euphoria after the first few leads to sheer horror for days

I've realised that the alcoholic stupor is just sad and pathetic. There is no glamour or fun in it. The alcoholic stupor will land me in jail or cause me and /or someone else to be injured or to die eventually. At best it means feeling disgusting the following day and hating myself.

alcohol became a slow and most likely painful death for me and i wasn't living.
let's try sobriety and see what happens.
What a difference! I love being sober!!!!!! I have a positive attitude today. Who knew?!!!?
