I like myself more when I am drunk I am confident and wiser and everyone else think I’m more fun that way so everyone likes to drink with me. I started drinking sometimes when I need a boost with a presentation or a speech. I get through a bottle of wine with no problem. I am little concerned.

I completely understand all of that!
I KNOW I have a drinking problem – andnhave dor Years really – (getting a DWI should have been a Dead give away, waking up not knowing where you are more than once – in your thirties is another great clue)
….but I still love to drink! In fact, I go drunk again last night at home alone with my daughter – and frankly I’ve been getting drunk every night of the week for the past several weeks now
I think the last time I went all day without a drink was maybe early November ? It might have been in October
I tried Doing Halloween sober since I was taking my little girl trick or treating along again – but that didn’t last an hour before I start drinking
My wife used to tell me I had a drinking problem ten years ago but I would listen and now she’s gone
I just need the alcohol to feel ok or fun
But the truth is – and I know it – I drink too much and so need to massively massively cut back or maybe one day quit drinking
I’m going to try for a dry January – after the New Years when I try to get my fat ass back in the gym to workout more – I’m going to see if I can do 30 days without drinking
Two closing thoughts:
1) if you think you are drinking too much you probably are
2) the Holidays are a terrible time to try to quit drinking
I hope you dont end up as bad off as me !
If I could go back and do it all over again – staring probably around summer 2006 maybe? I’d do everything I could to just not get to where I drink alone every night or with my then girlfriend – where I was drinking on the couch and she was not – that whole summer and fall of 2006 were like that and from then on, I have just always drank too much
Weird thing was I never really drank that heavily inncolege – I mean I’d go out for beers with friends on the weekend and I went to parties and stuff – but I didn’t sit around my apartments in 1999-2002 or 2003-2005 just boozing hard and getting trashed all alone – on a weekday – and doing it all the damn time day after day, week after week
I don’t know why I got this way what triggered it – but I know it started getting back in 2006, and even though I’ve tried to quit drinking before – it never works
I don’t think I’ve had more than maybe two times since 2006 that I’ve gone an entire week without drinking
I hope yours never gets this bad
It’s a horrible thought, but I have a suspicion that a woman I knew many years ago for a few years was drunk almost every time we related over 3 years.
I have always suspected that.
I have t had a drink in like 4 years but I smoke dope every day
