I drink and walk. Long distances. I don’t understand as to why I hate walking kinda. But I find myself walking somewhere for no reason whenever I drink. Not wondrously, I know where I’m going and never ever have gotten lost. But if I get angry while drinking, I walk. Just kinda wanna? I walk. I never do it sober so I’m trying to understand what I’m “walking” for or from.

I'm thinking you are trying to walk away from yourself. Problem is when you get "there" you'll be there too.

Hi Isolatedsunset
I think that could be one of your coping mechanisms. My ex used to do that if we got into an argument while drinking. Just walk off from wherever we were.
I’ve known other people who do this when sober, just to create space from the problem and think about things. Walking is great exercise and helpful for feeling better. Just be careful as to how drunk you are because you need to stay safe!!
