The first drink
When I look back I realise that I really struggled to put up with drinking. I was chasing the immediate pleasant feeling you have after 1 or 2 drinks. The subsequent drinks never added to make the initial feeling last longer or better.
In the day time drinking 1 or 2 and stopping left me feeling fuzzy and not quite there and often with a low grade headache a couple hours later. I was never one that enjoyed going for pub lunches, unless lunch meant carrying on all day.
Drinking a small amount then stopping a few hours before starting again was always a disappointment, never got that elusive feeling from the first drink in the second session.
Even latterly when I was drinking too much daily. I would generally wait until the evening and time my half bottle of vodka to finish when I went sleep. The times I started too early led to buying another half bottle. I hated when I did that as I was in for a bad hangover then.
I am pleasantly surprised that my desire to drink alone has gone and I am repelled by the thought of the physical discomfort that comes with drinking.
So many times going around bagged up and restless from drinking.

Yup, I REALLY hated it when I started drinking at lunchtime then had to stop for a couple of hours before starting again. It made me angry, felt like skipping straight to the hangover. The minute I have a drink I'm back in all that planning again, when, what, how much and at what time. How much can I get away with without being to hungover for work? How much should I buy so I don't have to go back to the shop? Despising people who do pub lunches, have a couple of pints and stop.
Whew! Thanks for posting. I almost forgot how much all of that sucks. **** that!
