One voice in the cosmic fugue

i used to get drunk to embrace the chaos. Now I end up puking and pouring out my beers. It’s
Kind of peaceful to balance out to know you’ve had to much. In the middle of a party and all I want is to sleep.

Thank God, you’re not an alcoholic Bryan. Embrace, observe, accept, plan, and then act. You must try different mechanisms until you find one that works. If you keep on experiencing the same result then it’s you who needs to change your approach. You’re not alone and stay strong.

just reading that made me feel sick in the head…i remember those days to well…!?!
take care

I used to drink a 5th a night, and yes at the end of the night I could pass out peaceably. The worst thing though is daytime episodes…which will eventually come. I have no clue how to deal w/them so if I lose control and get desperate I will drink at night, praying my anti-anxiety medicine will stop those fears from becoming real the next day. I highly suggest putting down the boos over time because the end of where you’ve started seems too familiar to ignore. BTW you’re not at a party…you’re at a single self medication experiment. Meds and therapy can help. Go to your family physician or a social services office and ask for help before it overcomes you. Prayers to you Bryan

feels like this

I don’t miss those days at all.

I used to try to drown out the voices and the anxiety with alcohol. But it was when I woke up the next day it was worse then before.

Too happy to be sober these days.

yeah I typically don’t drink like that, but yesterday was an occasion. It was a birthday party. Definitely paying for it today.

Oh man… was it your birthday?

If it was… happy belated birthday.

That’s a negative. It was a friends girlfriends 21st. Jell-O shots everybody was getting instant headaches. Then the alcohol set in.
