I have a drinking problem

[Rukas]

I have a drinking problem. Im far from an alcoholic, I dont do it often, but at some point getting drunk just stopped being fun. I dont get violent, but I do get grumpy and either mad or depressed, and this, to me at least, warrants a problem.

So Im here by announcing that Im going to stop drinking, or rather, stop getting drunk, I still enjoy drinking a beer or glass of wine daily or socially.

Anyway Im making this thread because I know some people on this board have a worse drinking problem than I do. I am not going to mention any names, but I urge them to try to make a change with me. Im talking to those of you who drink too much, too often, drive drunk, or in other ways know deep down that you have a problem.

I would here by like to offer my support to any of you who want to talk about your problems, if you dont want to post here just hit me up via PM and we can discuss it and make it our new years resolution together.

anyway, yo, Ruk, if you really wanna do this, i recommend chillin with people who DONT smoke/drink. That always helps. Im not sayin stop chillin with your usual crowd, but try and make "new friends". Trust me.

I am an admitted alcoholic and I too feel depressed alot of the times when I drink...

I'm wit you bro, not to stop drinking, but to stop getting drunk, blacked out, and messing around wit women who otherwise I would not associate myself wit..but seriously I'm already on that road, been able to cut down on the beer and have completely cut down to a shot of hard alcohol when I go out i.e. whiskey, scotch, vodka, cognac

 

[rockaway]

my question to you, actually not only to you but to all of those posting here for this matter, is



why did u even start, when you already knew the outcome for doing it?


i don't want that peer pressure trash :laugh:

 

[Rukas]

Well for me, getting drunk used to be fun, it was a way to party, its just not fun anymore and so has lost all of its appeal.

 

[WayCide-Ridah]

I was always around alcohol and parties...I remember as young as 4 being around parties in my house, my mom was an alcoholic, my dad still smokes weed, my brother started drinking at 11 yrs old, my grandma when she was old I remember at about 12 bringing her a beer, so maybe for me it was only a matter of time...I mean I don't blame anybody else for what's happened to me, that's why I'm going to have to be the one to change...the only thing I'm saying is that growing up drugs and alcohol was accepted in my house, I was never really taught that it was wrong or that bad shit happens when you drink

Ruk, question.. roughly how much a week do you spend on drinks *rough figure*

This may not help, but maybe it relates to you somehow. Just see how much u spend a week, and then a month, and cross check that to your overal living expenses. If moneys not an issue, as in you making enough for life and got plenty left over, its always a new perspective to see what you COULD be spending that money on instead.

I know ppl who drink,smoke enough a week that they could be paying small bills off, or hell pooling it into something larger like even an rspv plan. (yah so wut if ur young, even 20 bucks a month can add up over few years/decades)

I have a problem too, but mine is bizarre. I can drink a fuckload of alcohol and be straight as can be. Problem being is, I know Im drunk but my senses and mental state is straight. Ive been an idiot and driven while influenced perfectly..

The end result is I don't drink often and alcohol has a real minimal effect on me so when I do drink I down alot down (in one night 10 bourbon/coke mixes, 3 shots usually tequilla and around 2 or so straight bourbon or whisky) and might end up having kidney and liver problems in the future like my uncle who has a similar non reaction to drinking.

peace.

lol i definitely had a drinking problem yesterday but usually really not, i'm lucky beer doesn't fit me at all, i like wine though

 

[linx]

I used to drink alot when I was like 16-19, but i've definitely cut down since then. Plus I don't hang around with everyone anymore and it's different. Back then we used to chill out and drink a fuckload when we were younger. Now that i'm older I will go to bars and shit once or twice a week and that's it. Besides that, i'll drink here and there. I don't really drink by myself though. That's alcoholic status right there. Not always, but you know what I mean.

Can't slow down won't slow down.

I wouldn't say I'm anywhere near an alcoholic but I drink too much. I have a hangover now infact. It was the 20 bottles of bud from last night!!


I used to drink to the extreme every night a couple of years ago, but now I just do it 2 or 3 times a week. I will cut down 1 day. But for now....


My New Years Resolution is to get stuff done rather than just think about it.

Empty your cup so it can then be filled :thumb:


I don't know how anyone can seriously think about stopping drinking at this time of year.

My message would be: not to drink and drive.
