Need to stop this …..

[AbbieFairy]

For a number of years I have at times absolutely gone bananas on a night out (usually jaegerbombs) I have done some really stupid and regretful stuff always when I’m drunk. Over the last few weeks my anxiety the day after a heavy session has been debilitating and I genuinely don’t want to do this any more

The really ridiculous thing is I’m doing this to myself ! I don’t want this anymore and would really like to stop. Has anyone else been in the same situation ?

Here!! Yes yes yes... I am the same honestly, had a great week with no alcohol at all up until last night when I ruined all that hard work not drinking by going to the pub and drinking.... Now, Monday morning is here and I'm beating myself up, anxiety is at an all time high and the self loathing is at warp speed.....

You are NOT alone...

I do genuinely think we all need each other on here for encouragement... I am fed up to my teeth of drinking, it serves NO purpose to me, I may as well go to the loo and flush £50 down the toilet... feel horrible I even had a chat with a addictions counsellor on Friday and I STILL went out last night... It was like I was on a mission.. and I didn't give anything a second thought, not once did I think `oh hang on I'm not supposed to be drinking'... I just cracked on and now I am so angry I could spit...

I have the exact same problem I don't have a drinking problem but I am definitely a problem drinker cannot just have a couple always go to far and my Hanxiety is the worse, it's because when you consume alcohol its a suppresant makes you feel normal no worries or care until the next day ofcourse, hope your well anyways pm if you fancy a rant?

I'm same I'm.on off with binge drinking I'm not a alcoholic but apparently binge is a form of it with me it's I can not have any and I am ok if things are going well in my life but I can also have one or 2 and stop but most likely I need to drink the full bottle I've even drank when something greats happen to celebrate 🤗bless you all on here reading I been on off on here as people post then disappear 🤔

Yeah binge drinking is bad I would go like a full week without a drink feel good about my self and then slip up but not this time I'm trying to stick to it 🙂

During my active days of drinking, several times I could go seven months without drinking. Did that make mea binge drinker? No. I was an alcoholic. Do you drink even if you have negative consequences? And keep on drinking because you can’t stop when you want to? It’s time to get serious before it’s too late. It a legal drug. Period. And should be treated like a drug.
