Yeah I a mean I remember those days all too much. Like when you wake up you hate the sun, you hate any noise, you hate the quite, you hate anything everything and especially everyone because they are doing stuff and you cant. I hated myself, I hated my dogs for wanting to go outside, I hated it all.
But then on the flip side, when you wake up sober, sure you might not LOVE everything but you dont hate everything either. You can get up, shower, brush your teeth, eat breakfast, get in your car, drive to work without running to the bathroom to yack. You can come home from your day and not feel you need that drink just to right yourself so you can function for the rest of the day.
You dont have to live like this. You dont have to be that person. You dont have to feel like that. But that can ONLY happen if you put down the drink and quit. I would go out and get hammered, not remember much, surely look like and a$$hat (and act like one too) and then feel like crap the next day all for a night you can hardly remember. Did you have fun? Who knows, because I sure didnt. I mean I must have had fun if I felt like that right?
Anyways it is a choice to make and consider. But really its up to you to stop and up to you to stay sober. There are many tools to help you in that journey but they only work if you want them to.
