Wow! amazing how similar the answers are here. I get them all too. If I could just retain the same thoughts in the evening that I have in the morning then I think I could actually stop drinking. Somehow I start feeling real good around noontime and start thinking about drinking again. Spent the last forty years thinking I can (and should be able to ) be a social drinker. Quit once for ten years but I'm sliding down the shoot again. Damn, got to stop this. john |

Since I'm only 5 days in, I only have one thing to add to the list: 1. not having to drive to the liquor store when it opens and buy just enough beer to replace what I'm going to drink today before my husband gets home. |
good stuff

WOW - I've been thinking/doing the exact same thing for so long it makes my head hurt to think about it. You never know though, maybe tomorrow will be your day. I've been sober a whole 5 days now, so I know if I can, you can. That noon attitude change is what worries me, but who knows, maybe Ill hang in there this time. Since I'm only 5 days in, I only have one thing to add to the list: 1. not having to drive to the liquor store when it opens and buy just enough beer to replace what I'm going to drink today before my husband gets home. 5 days cool...it gets better keep on truckin'!! Forget the clock noon 300 900....its all relative.... |

is dreaming something that happens to sober people? I rarely dreamed while alcohol was part of my daily routine. Weird. |
*Remembering-phonecalls, conversations, dreams, what I did the night before *Not waking up hungover and running to the bathroom to throw up *Not feeling guilty for no apparent reason *Not fearing the phone ringing, letters in the mail *Being able to be honest and kind with all the people that matter in my life. |
Quoting Hevyn.. Not having that terrible feeling of panic, paranoia and remorse overwhelm you as you try to resurface after a binge. Really... No physical cravings No mental obsession..that is a biggie Regaining respect (from everyone) The ability to be grateful The ability to begin making amends (to just about everyone) The ability to pray The ability to listen Gratitude the flame of spirituality is growing into a fire... |
