successful night not drinking = not doing anything i regret whilst manic

so i am experiencing mild mania. not hungry. not sleeping alot (maybe 6 hours a night). and feeling quite seductive (sometimes).

but i went out a few nights ago, and had 1 drink because i just had like $10 on me, and VIOLA! i didn't do anything dumb, i didn't talk about myself all night, try to hit on guys, and was ~ normal ~ albiet friendly, talkative, and more aware than usual.

i think not drinking, being moderate and aware of that urge to just go off on a binge and be a slut is helping...

Good for you. I am so proud of you.

When you drink while manic, I have learned that you can get in serious trouble.

I am happy that you only had one drink and no more. That is showing self-control so you must have been using some coping skills you must have learned by your past mistakes.

Again, that is so awesome of you to do and really, really smart.

That's really good!! I hope you feel damn proud of yourself for that... I know I always had this tendancy to get myself into the same exact type of trouble. Getting intoxicated & slutting about, though sometimes intoxication was optional. But thankfully, I've been able to keep my boyfriend of 6 months without a single incident or thought of anyone else. So... There is always room for improvement!

Oh yes I can totally relate!!!! I usually end up drinking too much and dancing like a lap dancer!!!! And I do this thing....ha ha so cringe worthy, but I crawl along the floor like a cat on heat meowing as if this was 'sexy'. But no, its not sexy at all..actually its quite the opposite lol

Anyway, I am trying to not drink so much when I do go out, which isnt very often anyway!

But good for you!!
