The good and the bad
So thought we could do a bit of sharing the good and the bad. I don’t post a lot but do read a lot of them and they make me think about my past and present self.
name a good and a bad thing about your self or your life during your drinking time and during sobriety. Doesn’t have to be too personal. Just something to think about for today.
Mine are:
good during drinking: I lost a load of weight
bad during drinking: I lost a lot of weight as I was drinking my calories and was malnourished.
good during sobriety: I have plenty of people I love who actually want to be around me and my life is constantly moving forward
bad during sobriety: My constant food cravings and spending way too much money copying online recipes that never turn out as good as they look in the pictures! Also, I force feed said recipes to the ones I love...

Drinking - Good. I am struggling to think of any, but at a push I think I enjoyed music
Bad. Spilled numerous drinks on my laptop and also disturbed everyone around with my awful singing!
Sobriety - Good.I take far better care of my body, skin, mind, health.
Bad. I spend too much money on books, clothes, skincare (but I'm not drinking of smoking, so what the hell really!)

I find these threads tough because there's not much good I remember from drinking, but there were undeniably good times with mates.
The bad was everything else apart from those few good memories.
Sobriety - honestly everything is good - and nothing bad in the sense that drinking was ever better.
It wasn't

Initially I was having difficulty with this topic because there was nothing good about my drinking; but then I remembered not to take myself too seriously, so...
My drinking:
the good: it was good for the economy due to increased consumer spending
the bad: my finances were negatively impacted by my increased consumer spending
My sobriety:
the good: my finances were positively impacted by my decreased consumer spening
the bad: the alcoholic beverage sector of the economy took a huge hit due to decreased consumer spending
