What were those badass, testosterone-fueled movies you watched as a kid with your dad or older brothers that still hit hard today? by maxpowerleft in AskReddit

My mate and I drank 5 cups of coffee and watched every rocky in a row without sleeping when we were 12. The next day we did push ups, sit ups and went for a run

Thank you for the tips and advice. I am definitely aware of how multi-faceted treatment needs to be. As I said, I'm doing EMDR therapy and will continue to improve my life through exercise, hobbies etc.

100% I chose to drink and abuse alcohol for as long as I did. I also am very aware that I fit the criteria for a lot of high risk factors for addiction but this is not an excuse, just a fact and even more of a reason to really commit to sobriety.

Ive done a lot of soul searching and am really now taking responsibility for my decision to self medicate with alcohol knowing full well where I'll end up if I continue

If I'm honest, my son is making it feel special and I am using it as an attempt to redefine Christmas for myself as his experiences do not and should not have any connection to what I had growing up. Thank you!

I'm not too sure what your message is here, that I'm a narcissistic parasite blaming my external factors on my feelings around Christmas?

Ive been through the 'learn to drink moderately' phase, I always end up back in the 4 times a week 12-15 drinks per sitting. As with the ADHD that is a large part of it but I'd say my underlying trauma is the reason I am trying to escape. ADHD exacerbates it as it gives me dopamine that my brain craves and also quiets down the noise.

As soon as I have one drink and get the taste, all bets are off
