Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
i don't miss
shaking
drinking vanilla,mouthwash,salty cooking wine
middle of the night terror from withdrawal and running out
having to sneak and hide my drinking
having to defend my drinking
some of the people i used to associate with, sometimes just to get a drink
detox litteral and physical
no energy
no self worth
fear and shaking trying to get to the store
rolling pennies for one bear
tearing the house apart looking for a possible hidden beer
no relationship with family
judgment from other who were just as imoral or worse but didn't drink
fear of dts
the list could go on an on i just thought it would be interesting to list some and see what others could add

All I know is that once the booze stopped working as a solution all those things I liked that booze once did for me went with the solution . . . conviviality, being a happy drunk, numbed feelings, oblivion from problems of life, feeling like I fit in, sudden charisma, etc.
Just wondering if you are some things you do miss about drinking? And if you have wondered if those things are really even attainable any more when you do drink and/or if you do drink?
Here's a question. . . what is it you would miss about sobriety and recovery if you did start drinking again?
