I thought for a long time today about my future with booze. That if I am sober for long enough (a couple of years or so), that I can just have some wine with dinner.
Also, my alcoholic brain told me that I won't ever date anyone again, because no one's going to want someone they can't have a few with. Because I'm no fun anymore.
Hahaha. Guess that pity party is still in full effect!

About my Wife, today it said-"Man, she's being a real nag today... What put her in this mood? Doesn't she realize that half of the reason why you quit drinking was because she despises it? Srew her, go grab a beer..."
Me- "No."
Me- "No."

While getting ready to watch World News, it was: "Some liquor on ice to sip while you watch would be soooo nice. And smooth."
Not thrilled AV was back. I shook it off. Scram.

"You can't do this" (yes I.can)
"You don't even need to be doing this." (yes I do)
"You.ve got your life back now, so you can drink again and have no damage." (baloney)
"Only children don't drink, what are you, a baby?" (that is just plain stupid, AV)
"You miss the taste... The buzz... That perfect melting feeling." (Dont miss the cost, the loss, the damage)
"This is ridiculous, aren't you done with this little experiment of yours? Time to move on to a new challenge." (i can do a.new.challenge and not drink too)
"So... What? You spend the rest of your life on SR now? Is that how it is going to be?" (beats spending it with you)
"What, are you an invalid.now? Gonna lock yourself in your house for the rest of your.life? What kind of life is that?" (when I drank I never left the house either, dummy)

Tonite: "You are not an alcoholic. You were just stressed and grieving and since they happened at the same time, you linked them. You can drink again!"
Me: Those aren't mutually exclusive. I will not drink tonite. I will not drink tonite. I will not drink tonite.

Alcohol: Why not just give moderation one more try. The only mistake you made was drinking too much. Just drink a little.
Me: We both know how that ends, even if it takes months, it ALWAYS ends Bach here with me furiously try to hold my life together, withdrawn and trying to cover my red eyes and puffy skin each morning. Barely hanging on to life.

"You can't do anything you want because you cant drink."
(I can do anything I want and just not drink as a part of it.)
"You lost one of the great people you love the most because you are sticking with sobriety and not drinking.
(First, that person loves alcohol more than me right now. And second, the greatest love of all is myself. Sobriety is an example of loving myself. Being second fiddle to someone else's love for alcohol, is treating myself badly.")

Was quite a lot of thoughts. A story playing out in my head...of everyone and especially myself losing faith that I can do this...
Saw myself doing what is expected of me, which is to f*** everything up. Sitting in a hotel room completely blitzed, thinking this is the only legacy I will ever have. I will forever be known as the one who couldn't hack it. Thinking I should just end it while knowing I will never have the guts to do it.
Completely insane.

My AV said "hey buddy have a beer you deserve its Friday." I hate my AV. My wife is having a beer so my AV is going bonkers. But, my wife is not an alcoholic and I am ok if she has a drink.

"It's Friday night and you don't have to drive anywhere tomorrow. You deserve a break after a busy and eventful week."
I did not refute that argument and wound up drinking 12 beers.
I could have said: "Drinking is not the only way of taking a break. You might have a break from external responsibilities tomorrow but do you want to waste tomorrow recovering from a hangover?"
