Drunken rant

[JohnCU]

let me tell you how messed up i am. my body is supposedily set up for fatty foods, it hates carbohydrates, and then, i become addicted to alcohol, so i drink a little and pass out (it runs in the family - dad, granddad, 2 uncles, etc). alcohol is nothing but liquid carbs, so i gain 30lbs and gain 3 chins and go from a 8 to a 3.

but i drink because i'm lonely on the weekends, but to stop drinking and get unlonely i need a girlfriend, but to get a girlfriend, i need to lose weight, which means stop drinking, catch 22. the girl i want to be with (and have wanted to be with for 4 years) is beautiful and christian, and yet i'm agnostic, confused, and addicted to alcohol. i hate my life.

Agreed.

wow you should.... stop drinking?
Also, stop obsessing over a girl and just ask the chick out. 4 years is a long time of not knowing.

Easier said than done. the girl wants to go out but she loves god.

I try to stop during the day, but at night I get this feeling that I "need" to drink.

Sort of. I drank half a bottle of Grey Goose but I can still type fine. The tolerance is increasing...

 

[Capt Caveman]

Ever try rehab? AA?

1/2 bottle, huh? Stop drinking now, or it will only get worse. You'll get to the point where you'll start thinking that if I stop drinking, I'll go crazy from withdrawl. So you'll drink more, withdrawl more, drink more, withdrawl more .......

 

[JohnCU]

I don't want to go to AA, I'm looking for a one-on-one therapy.

wait would that be a 375ml or 750ml bottle?

If ti's 750ml i think you might want to slow down.

Also, get out of the house to somewhere where drinking socially is fine, clubs, bars, etc.

Drinking at home lonely is fine for a little while, i think everyone's done it but its time to meet some new women.

AA is free, one-on-one therapy isn't, unless you have insurance that covers it.

I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield, that should cover it?

It's the $40 bottle of Grey Goose, bigger than the 750ml, not sure of the size.

Welcome to a downward spiral.

The only way to fix is to get out of the spiral and change course.

 

[grohl]

wow man, send a copy of your post to your closest friend/family member and tell them that you need help. Good luck.

Dr. Phil would say, "Build a bridge and get over it...."

/course Dr. Phil is a giant douche......

 

[illusion88]

Listen, one on one therapy rarely works. You need to go to AA and stick with it. It's the best option.

I suppose - check your benefits. If you are covered, then talk to a counselor. Asking people at ATOT for advice will only make things worse

Cry for help... table 2.

stop drinking, start destroying your body some other way.

 

[Praxis1452]

If your drinking alone... it may be depression. which has made you an alcoholic.
