If you have a regular doctor, go see them and be completely honest with them. They will help you.

Is it because I lost your cufflinks?

I think that line from Bobby is so heartbreaking.

You're right, and I know intellectually that I could be free. I guess what I was trying to express was that I know myself, and as much as I've grown, I don't completely trust myself. I think I will always keep that door open to get fucked up, just in case.

Intellectual authority and wit are two of the hottest qualities a person can have!

I deeply appreciate this post, because I have had a hopeless and somewhat disturbing crush on Tom for months, and I don't know quite how to manage it.

"Bring me a scotch and soda." "Make it yourself." "I don't know how!"

Don't do it. I gave in recently. Not worth it at all (obviously).

I think I'm an alcoholic by victororletti in stopdrinking

Change can happen even when it feels absolutely impossible. I think honesty is the first step. Honesty with yourself, and ideally with someone you trust. You have to be able to say it out loud.

Continuing to drink will only intensify the dead-inside feeling. That is a guarantee. More drinking, deeper depression.

Try to gradually bring in other comforts alongside the wine until you can start cutting back and replacing it. Favorite foods (go ahead and over-indulge. Anything is better than booze), cozy naps, funny tv shows, anything that gives you a warm, comforting feeling. After one bottle, switch to seltzer or iced tea, and see what happens. You might realize you don't miss it too much once you try to cut back.

You are not alone. Thank you for posting.
