I’m not good at the whole self control thing. Once I start drinking I tend to not want to stop until I pass out.
I know, rationally, alcohol is not good. But I get stuck in the moment and it seems like the answer. The only answer. I am self destructive by nature, and alcohol seems like the healthiest bad habit I have right now. But for now, I am just trying to convince myself tonight I have had enough. It’s hard, I can’t guarantee I’ll succeed, but I’m trying. That’s something right? __________________ Tired of feeling lost, tired of letting go. Tear the whole world down, tear the whole world down.

It varies, I seem to have more a psychological addiction rather than a physical. So if I am doing relatively well mentally I can go without a drink quite easily. But when I’m struggling, like now, it’s incredibly hard not to drink. I don’t remember my last alcohol free day, and I’m already wanting to drink later on today.

I got stuck in a loop where I thought alcohol was helping me cope with my anxiety, so therefore I could drink more than would be normal in a situation. The thing I wasn't able to realize at the time (took 5 months of sobriety to realize) was that in actuality, the alcohol was actually making things worse! What I thought was helping was making things worse, so I would turn to it for more help, things would get even worse, and so continues the vicious cycle of drinking!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
