I have always been a heavy drinker for my age but I assumed that came with the fact that I have always partied quite a lot. However, over the past 11-12 months my drinking has increased whilst my partying has decreased. I had insomnia for a long time and used to drink to pass the time. When I joined this site, a few people encouraged me to quit and I thought that maybe it was a good idea (even though i had never thought of it as a concern). So i quit for a while, but it was harder than expected and now I am going through a time of stress and I am drinking again - drinking a lot.
I still wouldn't call myself addicted but I want to stop before it gets out of control. I just don't think right now is the best time, i am under a hell of a lot of stress and i need this to continue. any thoughts?
