I miss those disgusting beer farts.

I also miss the well thought out, appropriate and coherent emails I used to send.

I loved promising my daughter something spectacular tomorrow then not being able to make good on it because I couldn't drag myself out of bed.

I miss the numbness and tingling pins and needles of alcoholic neuropathy.

I especially miss going to restaurants and having the noise and lighting and motions make me feel like I was going to have a seizure at any given moment. That was a real favorite of mine.

I miss sneaking to the basement to chug warm gin. Yum.Mee.

I long for the days where I blacked out and can't remember if I was intimate with my dear sweet husband. Or maybe I passed out mid act. Who knows. Fun. Fun. Fun. True intimacy at its finest.

I miss lying about having the flu. 247 times in a single year. Must be my low immunity.

I miss 110 BPM heart rates and 165/95 blood pressure. And those 30 lbs I appear to have lost and can't seem to find again for the life of me.

I miss making a damn fool of myself on FB.

I want to put back on that 40Ibs.
The bloated look is so in!
I really, really miss 3 fried eggs, a tin of beans on toast ham and cheese. Soakage, mannn!

I am going to bed now, sober.
Have some "things" to do tomorrow.
BORING!!!!!!
Wouldn't it be "the bomb" to fall into bed in my clothes without brushing my teeth and wake up tomorrow and cancel on everyone?
Good times!
Goodnight!
Thanks Flynbuy.
Brilliant idea for a thread.

8)Miserable middle aged women who stink of gin are so special.
9)The best way to plan for my golden years is to alienate my family.
10) I haven't been institutionalized yet.

Great thread, FnB!

Heck, I'll go with the outward stuff.

8. Why keep getting skinnier -- within shooting distance of my size at college graduation -- when I can go back to my worst booze weight?
9. The cosmetics industry has taken a hit due to my non-blotchy skin.
10. I'm sure that my red, white and blue eyes might be a nice patriotism statement on July 4 (just not sure about the other 364 days of the year).

Fun thread!

I miss waking up at 5am...alcohol withdrawal starting in....anxiety attack in full swing and walking up and down the alley behind my house because sleep is impossible. I don't feel good enough to eat anything and driving anywhere is out of the question. The whole day will be spent either trying to get sober all day wondering if this is the day I will experience my first seizure OR go back to the store for more!

I kinda miss the shaking hands when putting in my contacts in the morning. And I miss deciding that my eyes were too ouffy and bloodshot to wear contacts anyways. Then putting my glasses on with shaking hands.

Or how about forgetting to take them out during blackout/pass out? Wake up, take them out and my eyes felt injured/like sandpaper all day.

The deep thinking convoluted lies we are capable of permeating whist under the influence - extraordinary!

I recall many years back actually asking my wife to call in for me. My husband is so sick he can't even call in!! To her credit this didn't go on for long.

I miss day 1

HappyBlue

My house looks so much better littered with dozens of empty beer bottles.

I smell so much better when I haven't bathed for a week or changed clothes.

It's fun to plan my day around my trip to the liquor store.

I miss sneaking alcohol in the apartment in back packs and paper bags hoping my neighbors wouldn't get the clue.

I miss making an arse outta myself late at night with those same neighbors listening next door.

I miss hiding all the cans and bottles in the trash bin.

I miss shopping at a different convenience store daily so the cashier wouldn't figure me out.

I miss that same cashier seeing my bloated face, red eyes and shaking hands.

Man, I misssss it all

growpath

oh and I totally miss the obsession of;
do I have enough alcohol for the night
will there be alcohol where I go
how will I get booze today
etc etc etc

One of the best threads I have read. Thanks Flynbuy! Great laughs before bed.

My liver's been pretty quite lately. I miss its screams of agony.

Most things are going really good in my life right now, time to mixed it up a little and get some more alcohol driven dramatic anxiety in my life. Kind of bored, perhaps meeting with an attorney and blowing $15000 to get out of a problem would be a good idea. I know my wife and kids would appreciate it. Who needs a vacation with the family when you can spend the money on legal fees, so much more rewarding,,,, better memories from an attorneys office and courtroom.

Life is overrated.

Besides, I always like it when fear wins out. Means everything's right with the world.

I need to start neglecting my animals again...
