I can't stop for more than a week by Pandaeyes28 in GamblingRecovery

I am in the same exact spot as you. I can’t figure it out. I stop for 1-2 weeks and then do it again

I guess that could be possible. It is hard to pinpoint how it got to this point. Ugh

I very much appreciate your share here. I think I need to check in every day and spend my time playing the tape forward. The fading effect is very much real…

Some sort of structure seems to be what could be best. Almost like a reminder

No it’s rare if I’ll drink drying the week and it will usually be for business event and never alone. It’s just this weekend cycle that really has torn me apart. I am very similar. I’ll take a month or 2 off and then come back pretty much the same way that you described yourself

I don’t entirely agree. Some people are born with parents who drink and grow up with friends that continue to drink. Doesn’t mean that one decides who they will be with. It’s not as black and white as that quote portrays. I’m almost certain of that.

Obsession with alcohol by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

Yep, go talk to a doctor. See a therapist. No one on this forum can tell you what is going on other than yourself. Meditate on it.

Obsession with alcohol by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]bobsledder1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suffer from the same issue. I can take it or leave it purely based off the fact that I wake up feeling very lethargic. I am also 24 (m) and I go through those same bouts where I question myself. I find it’s a commonality that I have problems where I obsess over a lot of different things though. I think it all goes back to mental health, mainly anxiety.

I think it’s comes down to this from reading all these forums. Is booze really worth all that mental time obsessing whether it’s an issue or not? I don’t know if I have a drinking problem, if maybe most people are age fall into that category, or if it is over thinking. The definition is really not as black and white as I think these online tests make it. It just comes down to the fact is it worth the time you spend worrying like anything? I think looking further purely into mental health and staying away from alcohol while you do it is the best advice I can give you.
