Re: United Nations of MWO

[MENTION=20191]Pavati[/MENTION] - THAT is exactly my feeling on it. If I can only have 1 or 2 I can't be arsed :haha: so I'll have none.

I wonder if they said we'll put you on a desert Island and you can have as many as you want - never have a hangover 'cos you'd be constantly topping up :egad:
what would we do ?

Hmm I think I might go for that! Hopefully never stranded on a desert Island.

It doesn't sound good to me anymore, Satz. I don't want to feel that dullness and lack of focus or be unable to read or hold and remember a conversation (assuming I've got books and other people on this island). The only feeling I really miss is the "rush" when I finally had (gulped) my first drink after starving myself for hours, all to increase the effect of the wine. But... I also miss the way I loved to eat red meat when I was dangerously anemic. I absolutely craved it and eating it was as rewarding as that first glass of wine. My body was screaming for iron just like my brain was screaming for something it could metabolize! It's kind of amazing what our bodies know and have ways of getting us to give them what they need (iron) or mistakenly think they need (alcohol). Just like I don't want to become anemic to enjoy meat again, I don't want to be a self-destructive addict to recapture that exquisite feeling of relief when I drank each day. Anyway, I'm gonna need my wits about me on that island!!

Re: United Nations of MWO

Yeah Sugarbabe that island sounds a tad boring :haha:

We'd end up having really intense conversations we'd forget ....
Reading the same line over and over in the books ....
Fall asleep having sex ..... ( was that just me ?) :haha:
No bottle bank ......
Furry tongue ..... till we got first drink.....
Skin & bone 'cos we wouldn't eat ....
Scurvy .... 'cos we wouldn't eat ......

Any more to add anyone ?

Re: United Nations of MWO

Actually I would be there in morning drink or no drink!

Re: United Nations of MWO

Interesting topic. I am definitely happier without the alcohol so I think I would enjoy the island much more without the drink.

So, the 27 year old from my office today came in with a horrible hangover..........it was one of those where you have the shakes and you're queasy and head hurting. She looked absolutely miserable. Not an attractive look. She actually had a breakfast burrito delivered. LOL
I looked at her and thought to myself that was a normal morning for me. That was how I started everyday. Trying to hide the shakes, pounding head, sick stomach. I am so grateful that I don't ever have to feel like that again. :thumbsup:

After the day I had today [MENTION=18312]sweetpea29[/MENTION], I’d probably be sitting right beside you...

Re: United Nations of MWO

Now ...... on the island there will be no moaning & groaning ............ we'll be really happy 'cos we'll have unlimited alcohol. Won't we ?

[abcowboy]

Re: United Nations of MWO

I'm going to say I'd skip the grog on the island for the reasons NS mentioned. I really don't miss the way al made me feel other than that moment NS is talking about. That first drink buzz was wonderful, and I spend all night chasing it. That description of the hangover is almost too much. I am SO glad I don't every have to feel like that again!

Something I've learnt in the last so many years is - how important detail can be.. and your post and NS before reminded me of a counselling session I had back then -- it was about how quickly we drank when we did - we all sort of said maybe 15-30 mins for the first drink in the pub - (obviously a lot less in the cupboard at home:happy2 and the 2nd one something similar -- and the 3rd one something similar... 'grand' says yer man and says no more...… next day counselling session the subject was how many drinks did we feel good after and when did we feel the fun going out of it? 3-4-5 max was the answer - after that it was chasing the buzz we all agreed -- so he sat back in his chair and just nodded 'well' says he 'you have all managed to screw up your lives so much that you have ended up in a treatment centre for addiction for ONE HOUR a day???' --- That was a lightbulb moment for me -- I probably 'knew' it - but it needed to be put in words...
