Normal thinking?

[babyface]

hey.

ok so basically, I've always been a drinker. With mates on the town etc. But recently I've been under increasing pressure with my new job, to be honest I hate it. It was supposed to be the start of my IT career and put me on track, but to be honest, it's nothing more than telling a user to reboot a fucking machine which is WAY below anyone's standards nowadays.

Anyway back on track: however I recently have started drinking by myself. Just randomly. If there's no beer in the house, I'll go out and buy some. If it's too late to buy some, the whisky comes out (we have loads, we're Scottish lol). And whenever my friends come back from University we'll go to the pub and have a few. and the general rule of "I'll only have one (x10)" applies on weekends, but this now happens on weekdays too. Which means I come in to work hungover, and my colleagues already know I am a heavy drinker.

To top it all off, I think I have a dodgy heart and I get liver pains, and suicidal thoughts. I guess basically what this fucking essay is supposed to ask, in short, is: how did you riggle out of drinking alcohol?

If you managed to stop heavy boozing I'd love some advice :)

Cheers (& sorry for the essay)

I used to get trashed every weekend, and even at school a few times at one point, I never get drunk alone though, what's the fun in that...

Anyways now days I rarely drink, I have some self control, and I relized how damaging booze can be, I only get drunk about once month now if that.

Also, hangovers suck so bad, be sure to drink plenty of water ;)

The first step is recognising you have a problem. You've taken that step. Now talk to someone who can really help you. a professional. If you really want to stop, you can, but it's not going to be easy. Best of luck, I mean that with all my heart. Karl
