Hello, my name is Nick and I'm an alcoholic
    #5588682 -

Well, I just completed the first step with that title. hehe.

But seriously, I think my drinking has gotten way out of hand in the past 18 months. I really think moving to an isolated, northern drilling town had something to do with it, but nonetheless, I'm back in my hometown and I drink everyday.

I never used to be like this. I remember a time being all about the "enlightenment" of psychedelics, choosing not to drink often. I've done a complete 180 with my habits and substance use and now so has my personality.

I'm becoming one of the people I used to find QUITE distasteful 2 years ago. I have to fix the problem. There's no need to be getting absoulutely WASTED twice every week and drinking moderately any other day of the week.

None of my friends take me seriously when I talk about quitting. I just kind of wanted to voice it out here.

Anyone else drink a little to much...or did, at one point?

Back when I was drinking to much I never felt it was an a addiction; just a cumpulsion. It was like I was going to miss out on something if I didnt drink.

It might sounfd trite but you just have to take it one day at a time.

Hi Nick,

Welcome to the club. Alcoholism runs in my family. I was pretty much destined to be one.. I am too... coincidence!?

I think it's more of an influence.  I truly don't believe alcholism is a disease or anything.  But almost everyone on my dad's side is referred to as a serious alcoholic, my father included.  My father's sister is in the roughest shape....lost husband, kids, job...now on tons of anti-depressants, but still hasn't kicked the habit.  Pretty lethal combo if you ask me.

I have to put responsibility on me and me only.  I'm not depressed when I drink.  I enjoy drinking all the time because, like buddy above, I feel like I'm missing out on something if I"m not getting drunk first.  But that statement is, in itself, depressing  :wink:

I want to be able to show myself I have what it takes to stop.  But easier said then done hey

I drink atleast a few beers a night, I dont drink hard stuff very often because I get too drunk and tend to drink more then I wanted to.
I can go without, I just like my beer...I used to drink a lot heavier years ago, along with weed, cocaine, sometimes meth, sometimes crack. But I am mellow now, I think getting tested for drugs helps me in a way. I havent smoked pot for over 8 months, cocaine has been over a year and a half since I touched it. I havent even done shrooms since november of last year.
Just slowly cut down if you feel that you have a problem, stopping cold turkey is too hard when you are used to drinking all the time.
But talk with people that have the same problem as you, and it will help out a lot.

hehe give me some credit....I got some orange juice and vodka a couple feet away, but I'm not. I already drank 7 beer in the sun today...I'm tired and not really ready to drink, what I consider to be, the worst alcohol

I think having so many family members that are alcoholics helps one hold their liquor better and out drink most..
It's up to the individual person to drink in the first place.
I doubt anything hereditary makes one more likely to drink...
Someone that has a family history just seems to fit into it better..

:shrug:

Even when I first started drinking, it felt natural.

I'm even having a hard time expressing exactly what I mean. Must be a side effect of all of the alcohol. :chugbeer:

Hi Nick, Booze is a baaaad one. Ew. :frown:

What about pot? Will that do it for ya? :shrug:

I guess moving from one addiction to another isn't good but you can control yourself on pot.

Meth, heroin, alcohol, tobacco are all very bad...well cocaine is too. So I dont think alcohol is the worst.

I miss the 4 bowl a day pot habit myself, weed is only bad if you smoke a ounce a day and shit like that. I f I still smoked weed I would only get high 2 days a week, that way I got a lot more higher when I smoked.
When I used to smoke everyday, I never got as high as if I only smoked off and on.

I have a weird way of toking.  The days of smoking a quarter to my head are long gone.  And ever since the night I had a horrible panic attack(first for me...I didn't even know what a fucking panic attack was)...I HAD to cut down.  I stopped for a month straight and then started back up.  Now I keep the buzz going.  Like, I'll step out and have 2-3 big tokes....probably almost every 45min-hour, all day every day, till I fall asleep.

When I'm drinking I'll smoke more.  But yea, I'm always on that edge of uncomfortably "too stoned" all day.  It can't be healthy.  Through in the alcohol and incredible amounts of fast food and pop(mmm rye and cokes) and you got one unhealthy person.  :wink:

I smoke more weed and cigarettes when I drink...but at the same time when I smoke weed I dont drink as much when I drink because I am so high on weed..
Ask someone that can help you, that is more hardcore..I have never been really hardcore of anything, if I was I most likely would be in jail or dead, at my age.
