i was never a drunk who drank too much. merely an alcoholic who thought too much.
there is not drinking for fun anymore

No drinking ceased to be fun for me too.

I still did it tho - until I found alternative, healthy ways to deal with my self and my life

How goes your search dasautobatgirl?

It wasn't fun for me at the end either. I kept going for 2 years though. At least now I know there is nothing good for me there anymore. NOTHING

I know the healthy ways and felt the sweet relief for 2-3 weeks at a time. somehow convinced myself onto a 3 day binge every time i felt this relief. like now

I was doing those binges for a while until I got some good sobriety time behind me.
Took quite a while before I got a nice long stretch running.
Now it's been over a year.

I do not miss the binges. And you're point is interesting, thinking too much. It is so true. Keep striving to not pick up, for me, my brain quieted down.

All the fun was gone in the end for me too. I still drank for another year or so after the fun was nonexistent. It wasn't even relaxing. Something physiologically changed in me, not sure if it was my brain or some other organ but my body did not process it for a buzz any longer. This came as quite a shock and didn't stop me from trying to find it again for a bit. I would still get clumsy and feel weird because I was drunk but it was nothing like before.

When the fun is over it's time to call it a day and put the drink down.

Amen to that.

Although there are people who don't need to moderate but who can also drink in moderation, alcohol isn't generally for people who want to have "fun."

I enjoyed the drink always even up until the last one. It was what was released because of it, I couldn't control it. I lost the ability to drink "normal" I was and am an alcoholic. I didn't want to listen it always took an outside source to try an convince me. Until I finally listened and choose to take my power back. HP
