    "He-man, Master of the Universe: Grant me the balls of steel to deal like a man with bad news, instead of turning into a quivering, whiney douche who wants to dive into a bottle and hide; the power to deal with good news by not feeling like I need to pop a cork to celebrate; and, while you're at it, help me to level out and just breathe no matter what happens. Also, please give me X-ray vision and the ability to predict lottery numbers. Shazam!"

StupidWasteOfMoney explains the cost/benefit analysis of alcohol - 0 views

    In my case, I finally realized it made no difference whether or not I was an "alcoholic" by any definition. Being an "alcoholic" is all about the negative impact that alcohol has on my life. But once I realized that alcohol's positive impact on my life was absolutely zero, there was no point parsing out fine distinctions about how to define my drinking habit. You're balancing a scale - harms to benefits. When the benefits have zero weight, the harm end of the scale just clanks to the ground no matter how little weight you put on it.

    I've spent a lot of my time angry. Resentful at my friends, my loved ones, my workplace, pretty much anyone I can think of. Over time, I've learned that I really can't do anything about them. The only thing I have control over is how I react, and how I feel about myself.

Methods we have tried to control our drinking, from the AA Big Book, Chapter 3, pp 31-21 - 0 views

shared by Off The Rocks on 27 Jun 12 - No Cached
  • Here are some of the methods we have tried: Drinking beer only, limiting the number of drinks, never drinking alone, never drinking in the morning, drinking only at home, never having it in the house, never drinking during business hours, drinking only at parties, switching from scotch to brandy, drinking only natural wines, agreeing to resign if ever drunk on the job, taking a trip, not taking a trip, swearing off forever (with and without a solemn oath), taking more physical exercise, reading inspirational books, going to health farms and sanitariums, accepting voluntary commitment to asylums - we could increase the list ad infinitum.
