8. Because I LOVE not being able to look people in the eye and feeling like the worst mother and wife on earth.
9. Because I love feeling so hungover I can't move
10. Because I love the anxiety, fear, hopelessness, depression, darkness, miserable, joyless life of a drunk!

The less people tolerated us, the more we withdrew from society, from life itself. As we became subjects of King Alcohol, shivering denizens of his mad realm, the chilling vapor that is loneliness settled down. It thickened, ever becoming blacker. Some of us sought out sordid places, hoping to find understanding companionship and approval. Momentarily we did - then would come oblivion and the awful awakening to face the hideous Four Horsemen - Terror, Bewilderment, Frustration, Despair. Unhappy drinkers who read this page will understand!
Some day he will be unable to imagine life either with alcohol or without it. Then he will know loneliness such as few do. He will be at the jumping-off place. He will wish for the end.

Because I love waking up with bruises in the morning and not knowing how I got them.
Because I love feeling like a giant smuck not remembering what I said or did the night before (and with who).
Because I love hiding in my house afraid to step out and face the world.

8) I love coming up with new, creative reasons why I can't come in to work today.
9) I haven't gagged while brushing my teeth in a while.
10) My husband really likes it when I initiate and then fall asleep during sex.
