I also have a house full of boos that I don't drink at all. It's definitely the social aspect of having a good time and then blammo - I'm hammered. 9/10 it's cool but the time it isn't - it isn't. I also live in a city where drinking surrounds every day life - it's crazy.
Thanks for your story - reading is definitely something I like to do. Binge drinking a lot is the only thing I do well that takes away from the other things.

Nope, not those sort of pills, just my psych cocktail. I hope you can decrease your binge, by maybe one drink per party night. Like if you normally have 9 drinks, decrease it to 8 for the night. Then the next binge, try 7 for the night. When youre not having an alcohol drink, try a seltzer water with lime squeezed in.
The main problem with drinking is dehydration. I hope you'll be able to ease out of binging. I had no physical side effects when I was stopping drinking, only psychological.
See if there's a meetup group near you that revolves around not drinking (former drinkers, or people trying to drink less). I hope you'll find the daily type of support network you are hoping for. Why don't you want to try AA?
