Reasons to drink alcohol Because I'm happy Because I'm sad Because I'm angry Because I'm alone Because I'm with friends Because I'm listening to music Because I'm at a club Because I'm at a concert Because I'm eating Italian Or Mexican Or pizza Or a steak Etc.... Because it's sunny Because it's raining Because it's snowing Because I'm at a concert Because I'm at the beach Because I'm at a game Because I need it to have fun Because I need it to sleep Because I need it to talk to others Because I need it when alone Because I need it when blue Because I'm hungover Because everyone is having one Because I need it to be social Because I won't get laid without one! Because it makes me forget. (That is the only true one. It makes me forget at the price of destroying my brain.) It's all ********. Excuses. Alcohol is a parasite, capable of attaching itself to everything. |

Yep, it lies in wait. Can't be complacent. I am guilty of that all the time, and it has continually bitten me in the rear. |
It's easy to find a reason to drink, the trick is to find the reasons not to. :) |
Yep. I can relate to every one of those. I drank every single day, no matter what. |
There really aren't any, ScrewdUpinDe, just my AV talking. ANY thing can be made an excuse. |
Literally me sooo many times: "I'm making dinner, this will be so much better once I'm drunk". |
REASONS I WANT TO BE SOBER: Because I'm happier sober Because I'm sad the morning after I drink Because I'm angry at my loved ones when I drink Because I'm most alone with alcohol Because I want to enjoy my real friends company without impairment Because I'm listening to music Because I'm at a club, and don't want drunk goggles Because I'm at a concert to enjoy music not booze Because I'm eating Italian Or Mexican Or pizza Or a steak Etc.... and I want to taste every bite Because it's sunny Because it's raining Because it's snowing ...and being sober in any weather is better than being drunk out of my mind in the best of weather. Because I'm at a concert Because I'm at the beach Because I'm at a game ...and there are more things to enjoy when I'm not passed out from all the shots I took Because I need sobriety to have fun Because I need sobriety to sleep deeply Because I need sobriety to truely get to know others Because I need sobriety when alone, because being the drunk is lonelier Because I need sobriety when blue, purple, pink, yellow... because no matter what, I need my sobriety Because being hungover sucks Because everyone else is able to handle their liquor and I cannot Because I need it to be social Because I won't remember getting laid without it Because I want to remember my life This is all the truth. Reasons. Alcohol is a parasite, capable of attaching itself to everything, and it sucks the living out of life. |
I had been realising my excuses for drinking were so varied and all encompassing, it is pathetic really. Like a child nagging until it gets it's way inside my head. I am glad to be in control now. It is a great feeling. Thanks for posting. We need these reminders |
