Normally i drink 2-3 units during the day. The rest is alcohol free beer. Im never drunk. But all of a sudden, and for no reason - i was in a good mood - i ended up drunk by my self, alone. And i don’t like being drunk. It’s stupid.
Tomorrow and the following days i will not drink a sip of alcohol. I think i got drunk because i am going through a lot of changes, but i just have to follow them, instead of fighting them.
I have risk of relapse too especially when I am depressed and need something to cheer me up

In other words, blow the doors off the joint every now and then!
It’s strange… one or two beers, can help you cheer up. A bottle of wine mess you up.
yeah be careful. i have one or two glasses of wine a week. with my meds, getting drunk is not enjoyable anymore, so my drinking problem worked itself out. i don’t buy alcohol, but mom will give me a glass with dinner on wednesday and sometimes saturday. red wine supposedly has some hearth health benefits, so i don’t think it’s a problem for me, but i prefer a cigarette, is my go to, although im trying to quit that too.
That sounds like a good strategy, @Lifer i will try to follow it. Just a sip.
Are you an alcoholic? I rarely touch alcohol myself
Ah, I didn’t know alcohol can cause relapse. Probably mixed with meds its not a good idea Hope you are ok…
my not buying alcohol has really helped me. im not responsible enough to buy beer or wine, because i don’t ration it when i do, i end up drinking most of the bottle, past the point of no return, its just something i learned about myself, that it’s best for me, if i don’t buy any, and only drink socially like 1 glass of wine with dinner when it’s given to me. i just like to sip it slow, takes me like 30 minutes to drink a glass of wine. a bit relaxing, but no buzz or drunkenness. if mom and dad stopped drinking i would have no problem going without. i went a year without it, a couple years ago.
i used to spring for a bottle of wine about once every 6 months and would drink the whole thing. i would wake up in the morning thinking they should bring back prohibition, to save me from myself haha.
No, not a true alcoholic, perhaps a minor one. A normal day - 2-4 beers during the day. But im an alcoholic in another sense, because even though i restrain my self, i always got the craving for more alcohol but resist.
Thanks, yes it’s not good with the meds.
Exactly… dont buy the ■■■■… If i have to make food and use wine for the recipe, i always buy a quarter of a bottle, because if i buy a whole bottle, i use some for the recipe and drink the rest.
I’m trying to quit drinking I crave it every three days
There’s always tomorrow
If it wasn’t for one of my meds that makes me vomit when drinking I’d still be drinking to this day.
Yeah, looking forward, tomorrow i am sober, clear headed and fresh to meet the days obstacles
