canguy

Without a drink this evening I'll be missing being at five a.m tomorrow morning peering hopefully into the neoned recesses of the frij for the cans I couldn't get down last night.

Breakfast of champions.

And when I've got those on I'm going to miss that casual saunter into the 24 hour convenience store around about eight for a bottle or two of overpriced sparkling white.

And a birthday card.
And one of those gift bags for the bottles

.....because I really just need a last minute gift.

Yeah, right.

I haven't had a really good blackout hysterical sobfest in front of friends in awhile. I should get right on that.

I have saved around $2,000 since quitting. What to spend it on? So much stress!

8. I havent lied to my Wife about my drinking this morning, better do that now.
9. My phone hasnt been cut off this month. I had better spend the money on booze.
10. I sit here with my life on track for once. Maybe I should drink it back into despair.

I miss having to always monitor my distance from well-intended people (not someone who is trying to get up in my face or be intimate), but just people I deal with on a daily basis. A colleague approached me yesterday, with whom I'm friendly, and on autopilot, I begin to hold my breath, hoping that might do the trick. Oh! And then I remembered that the most offending smell would be the coffee I'd just finished. Hooray.

Then there were just the regular conversations where instead of concentrating, I was always wondering if the vodka myth was true or false. Miss that so much!

I miss how cramped the back of a cop car is

This happened to me just once. I couldn't figure out if it was the ativan or what. I was actually pretty sober at the time, but I'd just come out of binge of sorts. I just thought it was from staring at the computer all day. They were both white and black, but they weren't very clear. They looked more like floaters but they did seem to move from the wall toward me. I had to sleep with the lights on and they turned white. Is this common? It was gone in the morning.

I admire you for trying!

I would just saunter into CVS (or crawl in anxiously) at 7 a.m. and buy vodka. It was embarrassing, but i was still sort of buzzed from the night before and at that point, I needed it so badly, that I really didn't care. Luckily for me, no one did a double take (on the outside. of course, I'm sure they've seen it all).

I have an extra $250 a week and arent broke, because i loved spending almost every cent i had on booze even rent money, so i loved being evicted heaps.

I miss carrying out 3 extra bags of trash on Mondays and waiting for the truck to round the corner before exiting the garage so the neighbors could not see our trash cuz we used the clear industrial bags borrowed from work cuz buying colored ones would mean one less liter of the best russian vodka made in Illinois for me.

When I run out of booze at home, it's fun to go to the bar in my pajamas for more drinks and pretend that that is "normal."

I really enjoy getting up in the middle of the night to take a leak, stumbling into the bathroom, falling against the wall, pulling myself up again, weaving over the pot and trying hard to not pee on the floor, and then suddenly feeling a great wave of nausea. Oh crap, HERE IT COMES!

Nonsensical

When I was a boy I always wanted to be a detective. There are always mysteries to solve when I drink.

I'm waking up on the living room floor, how long have I been here? Does anyone else know? Look, a clue! Someone knocked the pictures off the end table and broke two of the frames, I wonder when that happened! I hear people in the next room. Let me walk in there nonchalantly and see how they react. Another clue! - they look really angry with me! Maybe I should go hide in the office for a while. Another clue! I've been unfriended 8 times on facebook....

Every drunk is an opportunity for a new mystery.

I'll just add that waking up on kitchen tile friggin hurts.

brynn

I still think waking up in jail takes the prize...followed by waking up outdoors...covered in ants. Good times indeed....

I miss being arrested by Italian police and being taken to their a&e, and escaping to wander the streets hopelessly lost whilst my wife turns up at the hospital.

I miss all the empty beer cans in my house and in the yard. I miss fighting with my husband on Front of the kids. Not!
