Already mentioned, but very important: I don't wake up hating myself and wishing I were dead.

I don't cringe in the mornings as I hold my banging head and check to see what emails I sent the day before and what messesages I have got back.

I don't terrorise my daughter, my dogs and anyone esle I come across.

I don't quake when the phone rings.

(great list trucker, can relate to all of those)

Great thread :bounce

I don't.....

Check my bank 3 times a day to make sure there's enough for the weeks booze

Feel self loathing

Feel suicidal

Feel shame

Go days on end without eating

sleep in so hubby has to see to the kids in the mornings

Resent doing my chores

Stay at home 24/7

Plan any activities around fitting my drinking in

Sit on my backside with a glass in my hand 16 hours a day

Plan my day, knowing I will never do what I planed

There is heaps really, post one pretty much summed it up

I've only been a week sober, again, but here's somethings I didn't do this past week.

1. Ignore my Wife and Son.
2. Throw up pratically every other morning.
3. Spend ridiculous amounts of money in the bar.
4. Make an arse of myself.
5. Drive drunk.
6. Hide vodka in the garage, my truck, etc.
7. Forget what I said the night before.
8. Pretend that I have it all together.
9. Do the bare minimum necessary to keep my job.
10. Take for granted all the good in my life.

I seriously don't miss the hangovers, fighting with my husband or not remembering what I have done the night before...
