I love the sober feeling............. But
Why do I like the drunk feeling better? I know its not but hearing and listening to the AV consumes me, the problem is AV has been in control more with me than me!

I understand,
you know I guess it is in our brain, the thing that alcohol does to change the way we feel, and having an addictive 'set up' to begin with.
but that "feeling" brought on by alcohol, is not worth the price, and when it wears off, the feelings left are so miserable that I am truly mystified by the whole desire
and really there is no escape -- it's just temporary --

I enjoyed the drunk feeling better but the aftermath was knocking me flat. Bed spins, sick, stumbling and falling, anxiety, being broke, lying, etc. I kissed the drunk goodbye and don't have to put up with the junk anymore. And I'm happy with that. That voice is a liar.

Wellllll Love2Grill...I know for myself an alcoholic I can't drink like normal people. I can't just have 1 and have never heard of moderation. You need to give sobriety a chance! I know you talk about your AV overpowering you maybe you need to look to something greater than yourself to keep you sober...I don't mean god or jesus christ either. My family and friends keep me sober...My AA fellowship, all of you here at SR...keep me sober. Now for me to drink would mean to hurt all these people especially my immediate family. It would be very selfish for me to think only about myself and drink or do drugs and not think about all the people I am hurting. Screw that alcoholic voice even sometimes I "think" about using or drinking...might last 1 or 2 seconds but I know right from wrong. Why would i purposely hurt the people I love? I would never...when i was in my addiction I would no problem because alcohol was #1. Hope this helps you...Just because your AV says to do something doesn't mean its a good idea. My life began when I stopped drinking. I love just being alive...experiencing life for what it is. I love to feel...and with drugs and alcohol I was always numb the all the enjoyable things in life. You can do it!!!!!!!

I only liked the mildly buzzed feeling anything after that was messy....
if I could stop at the mildly buzzed I would have, I could never stop at slightly buzzed and I really really wanted to, being a drunk isn't nice.

That is normal, that why you get drunk in the 1st place because it feels good. no wonder it feels much better that sober. but again, being sober is far more better that being drunk in general. In terms of health, performance, relationships, etc.
