Something's not there.

I guess this is a note to people wanting to stop.
Ive just noticed that I haven't had for some time now an argument in my head with old friends or been angry about a past situation . Now that sounds bad these weren't rational or commonplace but they often occurred during times of heavier drinking and now there not with me anymore. Infact my general mental health is palpable in better shape.
So much improvement .
I guess I used these arguments to criticise myself obliquely or even avoid responsibility for my behaviour. Guilt a strange emotion.
Good luck to all . Give yourself so much more than just not drinking.

Totally—it's amazing how annoying and stupid my fellow human beings were when I was drinking, and how much better behaved they've been since I stopped...

(haha - right on the money, ReadyandAble!)

Great observation, Spinach..... I was really surprised, too, by how much less the little stuff bothered me. I guess I lived with rebound anxiety so long, it felt normal to be a nervous wreck!

You are so right. My perspective on life has changed so much.
