WHY WE DRANK or DRUGGED or GAMBLED or CONTROLLED OTHERS

citychik · 12-21-2008, 04:19 AM

We drank for happiness and became unhappy.

We drank for joy and became miserable.

We drank to be outgoing and became self-centered.

We drank for sociability and became argumentative.

We drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious.

We drank for friendship and made enemies.

We drank for sleep and awakened without rest.

We drank for strength and felt weak.

We drank for sex drive and lost our potency.

We drank for relaxation and got the shakes.

We drank for confidence and became doubtful.

We drank for warmth and lost our cool.

We drank for coolness and lost our warmth.

We drank for freedom and became slaves.

We drank for power and were powerless.

We drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity.

We drank medicinally and acquired health problems.

We drank because the job called for it and lost the job.

We drank to make conversation and slurred our words.

We drank to feel heavenly and knew hell.

We drank to forget and were haunted.

We drank to erase problems and saw them multiply.

We drank to cope with life and invited death.

That's why I used..but the more I used the less I coped. Well, I suppose using just gave me the illusion I was coping.

I dranked because of boredom, when we moved to this small town.

I dranked because of my depression.

I dranked because it made me talk more (I'm very introverted and reserved when I didn't drink). But I like being that way now, since being sober.

I dranked because I got into the wrong group of people when I was stationed overseas in 1998.

I can relate Leana. I drank because of depression and because I felt sorry for myself. I drank because i was shy and it helped me fit in better with the crowd. I drank cause i was happy,sad,mad, holidays whatever toward the end and ended up a daily drinker.

Today is much better. I'm sober with the help of my HP and my sober friends.
