This should probably be in the addictions section, but I do think it is bipolar related. How many of you have a problem with alcohol? I mean I was fine for a while, months really, and then I binge drank on Tuesday and basically felt like crap all day yesterday as sort of a withdrawl.

Anyway, today is a tough day. It's raining, its dreary, and I just feel like curling up with a drink. This bipolar has been really beating me up this week, more so than usual. I don't want to go messing with meds, because I use meds to help with the delusions and keep me in check not to solve my problems.

I guess what I am asking for is some hugs and support, you know just to help me get through today without a drink. I was thinking of going out and having some lunch but the urge to order a drink or drive by a liquor store is too strong, so I am locking myself at home today.

So what's your experience with alcohol? How do you fight the craving?
