.... from one perspective....
- when you are an alcoholic, it's the only thing you look forward to - having your drink(s).....
When you don't have that to look forward to, life is just getting through the day, and unless you have a "substitute" or something to replace that one thing you look forward to, there is not much meaning to life.
Maybe it's possible that for some people, alcohol is the answer for them. Instead of trying to make everyone fit in and be normal.
This can be said of other addictions as well.......
I think that's totally normal, Bonzi. I've talked to people trying to quit smoking before who have said the same or similar things. I've heard people say that they usually smoke during coffee breaks at work and looked forward to it, and now they don't know what to do with themselves. I think after some time, that boredom and feeling as if something is missing from your day will subside. Keep your chin up. Stick with it!
I was like that with smoking also, but, seemed different some how.....
I think with age, as the things you enjoy in life get taken away, depression sets in.
It's a state of mind, I understand, but, you have to have the fight and the will......
I appreciate your kind and encouraging words however, very sweet....
I don't want to lecture, so I'll just say that I wish the best of luck to you.
