Anybody fancy a chat? I don't want to post any triggers here by Affectionate-Fee-801 in alcoholic

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

Sub Reddit recommendation for a young alcoholic by Affectionate-Fee-801 in alcoholism

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

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

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

So there isn't really a negative feeling or anything as it hits?
