Hi, i'm a patheidic drunk.

[Fiending_the_freedom]

lets keep this short and simple.
I drink too much.
as i think we all know by now.

my point is,
i know i drink a lot.
more than my friends even know about.
i drink everytime there is an excuse to.
i drink by myself.
I drink my dads wine when hes sleeping, in the middle of the night.
And the sad part?
i dont want to quit.
ever.

Hi,
I'm Tegan.
And i'm an alcoholic.
and i dont know what to do with myself.

[mr.sexy_bomb]

well what would you like to do

[Dragonite]

OK an acoholic

Rahab wow didn't take me long to think of that :) ussaly it takes me a long time

I meant rehab

[Fiending_the_freedom]

rehab isnt the ideal option if you dont want to quit.

if i were to actual get what i want, i would want all my friends and family to stop bitching about how much i drink, leave me alone and let me drink as much as i want with no judgment.
the only reasons i dont drink 24/7 is lack of money and people judging me.

i just think its at least good that i'm admitting i have a problem.
for a really long time i was in denial and got REALLY mad when people would confront me, or call me and alcoholic.

[Dragonite]

Well then just do sumthing else in stead of drinking

Y wouldn't you want 2 quit drinking?

[Fiending_the_freedom]

well my addictions go back and forth from cutting to drugs and then booze.
i figure booze is better than cutting for sure and drugs yes i think so.

those are the only two other thigns that can subsitute booze.

i dont want to quit because i like being drunk, it lets me forget how much i hate myself and all my problems, it fills up the empty feeling i have. because i black out and i'd rather not remember most of my life.

[Patchy]

Xxyaxe,

Please do not double post or triple post.

Simply go back and edit your previous post.

[Dragonite]

Well then get a cat they are cute and cuddly or atleast the ones that don't scratch a or get a pet one that you will love and stuff like that that's what sum people do

[Fiending_the_freedom]

lol, pets help with depression a bit. i have two cats, its not as simple as "just quit drinking" or replacing it with something else.

[Dragonite]

Oh but cats are so cute and cuddly, jk well the bad parts of your life are In the past unless there are bad things still happening but if bad things don't happen anymore then just put all the bad memories in the past and don't even think of them.

[byee]

Ok, I'm lost. What exactly is the point of this post? You do bad things to yourself and you don't want to stop, so what do you want to hear from us, that it's OK to do this?

This is a variation of this 'I know I shouldn't/it's bad/ but I don't want to stop and I don't want any help' posts.

It's a free country, you can do whatever you want, I suppose, there's no law against stupidity or bad judgement (unfortunately). But, part of any type of freedom is responsibility. Sometimes, it takes life itself to remind of that responsibility, and maybe you need to experience a bit more of it before you see your behavior (and the options) differently, and acept the inevitable: That you'll stop.

Sooner or later these types of behaviors really do get in the way. Maybe it'll be school, maybe your family, a boyfriend. A husband, maybe your kids. But, sooner or later, it'll catch up with you, and for their sake, you'll quit. After hurting them and yourself more than you can comprehend, you'll do it.

So, why waste time, why continue doing things that aren't good for you, when at some point you'll have to stop anyway. So much bad stuff will more likely happen the longer you wait.

[Fiending_the_freedom]

Ok, i thought about it,
and if i'm going to be honest with myself,
I want to get the problem in control, but not quit. but i'm too scared to start trying to fix the problem because i'm scared i wont be able to.

[nachtspiegel]

Alcoholism isn't a middle-ground kind of thing. Either you are completely immersed or you completely stay away from it.

[Fiending_the_freedom]

thats what i thought too but when i was in a substance abuse program for youth they ask you which program you want to take, control or quitting.
:S

[Neverender]

thats what i thought too but when i was in a substance abuse program for youth they ask you which program you want to take, control or quitting.
:S

Well i think that personally you should take the quitting option, but if you dont want to then just go for the control. And i also think that you should try not to drink so much. It hurts the ones you love, because while drunk (now i don't know how slammed you get, but lets just say its enough for you to forget rational thought) you don't think correctly and you become nearly impossible to communicate with without someone trying to kill you in fustration. (I hate it when my mom is like that, it drives me nuts.) And that loss of comunication causes you to separate from your relatives/friends.

[Fiending_the_freedom]

I do get very drunk but i'm only uncontrollable over drunk once and a while and i regret that when it happens. I stopped drinking liquor because thats when i would get the drunkest, always. i have made some changes, the problem is, literally even if i get a LITTLE bit more than tipsy i always dont remember something, its weird. I already have gone to the program for controll, thats why i stopped drinking hard alcohol. Only beer now.

[Cindex]

Stop drinking for a week. That's it. See how you feel. Since the addiction is fading at a week you should start to feel better. Then you won't really want to drink at all after 3 weeks. If you do, get help.

I know how it is. I had issues too. It's hard...

[ViT0]

fiending honestly i struggle with some of the problems you have too. and the answer is to generally slow down. not stop but atleast cut down because there is alot of damage being done.

PS: im a pathetic drunk too, drink every time my parents go away and the sad thing is is that im a sloppy drunk, throw up alot and this friday i pissed and shit myself while i was passed out on my bathroom floor. bad experiences. i hope you slow down, for the sake of your health

[Skeln]

Yeah, keep up this drinking and you'll kill your liver and then yourself. if you don't want to quit then get it under control. Trust me, most people have hard lives and those who dont turn out like greedy pigs like a certain person i don't know personally but is known by all who pay attention to news. I have two parents who have a serious mental illness and they gave me alot of problems. I have gotten into quite a few bad habbits, but no drugs. (beer is a drug). Just think about the consequences of drinking too much and try to slow down. Plus, when you're drunk you dso thinks you will regret very, very much.

[Halibut]

maybe try rehab or go talk to someone..YOU CAN STOP lol

[Φρανκομβριτ]

you need to find the route of your drinking and try and fix that. Talk to a psychiatric assesor or something. You need to know why you drink in order to do anything else. Once you know, you can either a) start replacing it, or b) go to rehab

[Triceratops]

You need to fix this, not wanting to quit is putting your health at serious risk.
Not controlling yourself could make everything worse and worse and cause things to spiral wayyy out of control. I think everyone knows the side effects of alcoholism.

Drinking is fun, I admit. Most people get pissed on the odd weekend or whatever. But drinking everytime there is an excuse to do so is harmful, so you could try to do somethign which takes your mind off of it, like a hobbie you enjoy doing or something. If that's no use you could try rehab or a psychiatrist.

I'm not saying quit alcohol completely, I even love alcohol too much to do that. You just need to stop drinking as much.

[lausonfarleyii]

hey im lauson and i am hooked on vicks NyQuil, i know that's weird but i like it and i know its hurting me

[botwa]

don't you think it's the question of the eternity: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
the same is here
which came first, your problems or the booze?
don't you think that when you stop drinking you will get a chance to get a grip and solve them all? I understand the easiest way is just relax and drink but even when you drink you experience a lot of pressure.


sorry I saw the date of the thread, sorry I bumped it.

[Anselmo]

don't you think it's the question of the eternity: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
.

Answer: easy,the chicken

Tell your dad, that you are an alcoholic, you'll see that he will check you to see if you drank, and with the time you will lose that habit. i used to drink a lot when i went out with my friends, but now, that my parent's know that i drink, i drink less because i know that they know that i drink, i still drink, but responsibly

[Ambrosia]

Answer Easy: This is a bump.
