I'm a calm steady drinker. Never get wild. The liquor just relaxes me & I'm fine drinking a bottle & a half of wine every night. Toward the end I realize it's way more than I need but just keep filling the glass. Sometimes staggering on my way to bed.
If I don't drink or smoke weed I get this icky spacey feeling. Never had withdrawal more than the first few days of anxiety. When I drink I can relax and actually feel good rather than being anxious and dissatisfied with life. Weed is a wonderful creative euphoric for me but turns me into an incapacitated space cadet as I've become middle aged. I want to smoke it all day and that doesn't work any more.

> Reminds me of something I heard at a meeting once about people wanting to drink like "normal" people. Well, "normal" people stop drinking when they get that out of control feeling, "normal" people would rather be control of themselves. Us alcoholics actually feel more in control when we drink. "I dance better...I screw better...I drive better..." And how about those vodka muscles? Sad to see a loud-mouth drunk get his a** kicked AND still run his/her mouth before passing out.
