BINGE DRINKER

[Flipdlop8807]

Hi I am new here! 35 and it’s not so much that I drink often I have the problem of completely binge drinking to the point where I don’t go home, put myself at risk. It’s ruining my relationship with my husband, I can’t control myself once I’m out!

I’m going out on Saturday and I am goingTo do everything in my power to stay in control, even thinking about ordering non alcoholic beer!

If its the first time I bet that will be the hardest! I am going away Saturday and trying not too think too much but it's always there in back of your mind , am sure you will do it , keep thinking of feeling better next day that's all I do 👍

There’s a saying in a program I am in that, “It’s not how much or as often as you drink. But rather what it does to you when you do.”

I got real sick and tired of waking up in strange places. The blackouts. The fights. The shame and despair were terrible. No matter what I did, I couldn’t stop drinking.

Even non alcoholic beer has some alcohol in it.

I tried the non alcoholic beer route. All it did was tease me to want the real stuff because I wanted the feeling that was supposed to accompany the taste. For me, it was a trigger to drink.

I relate to this so much. I only drink Saturdays while with friends. I’m trying hard to not even start. We aren’t alcoholics, but do have an “alcohol problem”. Do your best to not start. Can’t tell you how many times I’ll say.. I’ll just have 1-2 drinks or a couple shots.. and then leads to way more.
