Welcome to our group. I hated myself as an active drunk. I understand your pain.

Thank you. I do not know why I do this to myself. I need to find a group & sponsor. I feel like it hits me about once a month

Your comment about a group and sponsor leads me to believe you have some familiarity with a 12 Step Program. I will PM you with some info

hello i used to do that but i learned the urge passes distraction, replace it with some other comfort something healthy, i was under a lot of stress a while back i took up swimming, and stopped drinking cometely for 3 months i now drink sensibly and not often i guess the complete break changed my mind set, i still struggle to keep the lid on if get wine so i dont get it anymore, or drink anything strong, binge drinking is very dangerous i think if you can go to AA support group will help and youll meet like minded people some are alcoholics some binge drinkers but bingeing is a form of alcoholism, i hope you try there support 🤗
