I think i may have a drinking problem...

Tommeh!!! · 04-24-2007, 10:51 AM

yup, most of you will know that ive always been a drinker and i like to party lots and get drunk. sadly over the last 2 months its gotten quite a hold on me. now im in lots of debt to the bank and im right up shit creek financially and its all because ive been drinking every single day. :/ ive tried promising myself im not gonna drink for at least a month and i really want to, but i literally cant even last one day without drinking till im at least a little bit pissed. now ive started waking up and wanting a drink, thankfully i havent yet, but this morning i could have murdered for a JD and coke.

well bottom line is im getting pains in the small of my back...and not spine related ones, so im off to see the doc soon for some help, kinda scary really...didnt even see it coming, and suddenly im sat in the pub wondering what the fuck im doing.

first time in my life ive had to come to the conclusion that: alcohol is bad.

tommeh...why do you drink so much?why do you feel like you can't get through a day without it? is there a reason you started drinking?
now it sounds like it's a habit just like any other.a bad habit that you'll have to ween yourself off.not something that can end overnight.even though thats the result you sound like you're hoping for..it won't happen
my advice is cut down on the amount of alcohol you take.if you keep going the way you are..you're going to do some major damage to yourself.
i'm sorry if that was no help.i'm here if ya ever wanna chat about it

p.s it's good that you want to do something about it!i proud of you

"human behaviour is the hardest to change"

the great part is you can get help...which you are willing to do

go as soon as possible

Tommeh!!! · 04-24-2007, 11:54 AM

i dont know why im drinking so much, theres something bothering me i guess...i dont know what it is, i think its something to do with feeling lonely, which i have been feeling alot recently. It may have started when Ellie left me, but at the same time, im over her now, but i still feel like theres something missing and drinking makes it easier in a way...but i dont go out thinking that im drowning my sorrows...i just have a drink...and then dont stop.

i think i need to just stop and take time off, as i cant really cut down as then ill just keep going. your advice is of help, in the support and the suggestion.

im gonna go soon, before i do let myself come to any serious damage.

Confubbled.. · 04-24-2007, 11:59 AM

you don't talk about you feeling lonely do you?well you don't here anyways.so maybe you should.i'm willing to listen anytime.and i'm sure others are too.
i understand what you mean that if you have a little you won't stop.
it's good that you've to decided to go soon.imagine living like this for the rest of your life..

its reassuring, but its not since the old exasco days when i have really opened up as such.

the idea of living like this forever is sickening.

Confubbled.. · 04-24-2007, 12:13 PM

well hopefully you can learn or begin to open up to us.just once you know we're here to listen is the main thing.exasco is the only place i talk about anything to anyone and although its not like telling people in person..it still helps.even if its only something small.
it takes awhile to be able to open up to new people.or even people you knew before but haven't talked to in awhile.just hope you can eventually talk to one of us.

my brother has a problem with drink.and he doesn't talk to anybody either.but he won't admit there's a problem.you're doing great even just saying that there is one.all you can do is take it day by day.

Tommeh!!! · 04-24-2007, 12:22 PM

mhmm, i think this was a bit of a step in opening up. so hopefully i can get this sorted and use this site for what its meant too
