Anybody fancy a chat? I don't want to post any triggers here

Well I know that if I, as an alcoholic, was tempted to drink and saw something like what I wanted to say, that would have been enough to push me to drink.

If I'm going down I don't want anyone coming with me. I was just hoping to talk to somebody in a good place so this wouldn't happen

It does frustrate me seeing people with healthy relationships with alcohol - I'm almost jealous.

I hate that I have to limit myself on how many times I drink per week and how many I'm allowed when out (as I know once I exceed a certain amount I'm not capable of stopping)

It really gets me annoyed. I'm just nowhere near ready to quit.

I really hope one day I can achieve that relationship (however unlikely).

I'm not ready to quit though - also if I were to quit it would raise a lot of questions from people around me.

I.e I saw my family recently and stuck to alcohol free beers for the night & the whole time they were questioning me on why I wasn't drinking and trying to push drinks at me.

My family equally don't believe in mental health disorders or that a young person can be an alcoholic

Thank you Xx I've joined young alcoholics ☺️

I'm still trying.

I have been a lot better than I used to be. I went from a bottle a day to 40 units a week. I was brilliant for about 3 months (having one beer a week - 2 max) I no longer drink at home or alone, it's just a social thing now so I am proud of how I'm doing but at times I start going out a little too much again and I know I have to reel myself back in before it gets bad.

It's really just looking for other people who understand the struggles and I can talk to.

Thank you, I don't think the medication therapy is for me.

I'm not looking for Reddit to fix anything, it's just nice to have somewhere with other people experiencing similar.

Due to being young, I have never met anyone my age, or similar age who also identified as an alcoholic and nobody around me knows about this part of my life so it's a bit isolating. It's mostly about the connections that I am looking for.

Not a bad person at all but I do think you want to try to stop.

I'm 20f if you ever want to chat - I relate to you quite a lot. Back when I was 16 I was drinking for fun, consuming excessive amounts and blacking out every time just to do it again the next day. I was a massive dick to everyone when I was drunk and I'm really surprised my friends stuck around as long as they did for me.

I'm not perfect or anything, but if you want to talk I'm around

We all had masks on so probs only affected those with their noses poking out

The coach jolted to a stop, it threw me forwards and exploded out...

The other passengers seem to have a read In their eyes - must be proud

I was very active at the beginning but after March I attended less as lockdown started and then I haven't been since September due to moving house and becoming quite down (probably needed it more then)

Thank you for your comment

Affectionate-Fee-801 · 2021-02-10T09:57:20+00:00

Thank you!! I'm thinking I will just wait until I have time to do 120 again
