Josh,
I know what you mean. The first few months after my surgery, drinking was a great escape to help me forget about having a bag even just for a little while. The problem was, I like to drink beer and with an ileostomy, it balloons out and the output is nothing but beer. Not that it stopped me....lol....a true sobriety test is trying to empty the bag when you're tanked as*!
From reading your other posts, it looks like you'll be able to have a reversal. So your colostomy is a temporary eyesore for now. But you'll be able to share your experience with someone on this site that is scared sh*tless of having/getting an ostomy. And I'll bet that they'll be very grateful for your advice.
I won't blow sunshine up your as* but you seem to be handling it as well as any of us has had to when we first had surgery. Try to take it one day at a time. Continue to post and share your experience. Try not to let the bag define you. Wish I could be there to have a shot with ya. Hang in there, man!
