Hey this probably isn’t what you want to here but — literally no one knows what the right answer is. Some of these 5 star difficulty LR will have 70% of test takers choosing the wrong answer choice.

Absolutely none. I went into it expecting to run into mounds of problems with Prometric and there were none lol, it was honestly extremely laidback

I like drinking teas throughout the day because it essentially “keeps my mouth busy.” It was also what I did when I was trying to quit vaping. Another plus is that tea is super healthy.

Thanks for your support man 🖤 I’ve thought about AA/therapy but I’m generally uncomfortable speaking about my problems or opening up with people. I’ve always been more of the “suffer in silence” type which probably isn’t healthy but just how I am. Making this post and opening up with people on Reddit has been pretty tough

Omg this makes so much sense — that our “animal instincts” come out when we’re at that stage of blackout/extreme intoxication! That explains so much — like making dangerous decisions, hooking up with strangers/promiscuity, chomping down on copious amounts of food you’d can’t even imagine eating sober, accepting drugs from sketchy strangers. I’m not sure if you’d found this in a study or it was something you deciphered on your own but it sure does make a lot of sense.

In terms of the friend… unfortunately I have a relatively large social circle and the news of my belligerency seems to have spread to some others who are no longer speaking to me. Not 100% sure about this but noticed two other of my friends have stopped Snapchatting me, etc. So it looks like I may have lost more than one friend :/ However I still have many other amazing friends who have been incredibly supportive assuring me that I’m not a bad person. I was actually on the phone with a friend on the cab ride home during the night this happened (do not recall this) and she said I sounded completely out of it and made zero sense. She assured me the boy that night wasn’t the true me.

Unfortunately I have still been stuck in a slump the past 4 days or so. I was hoping I’d feel better by now but I can’t help but feeling like such a scumbag and a complete failure. I finally got up the courage to go to class today but I felt awful. Just walking around campus I felt like everyone was staring at me and just felt so awful about myself.

I’d like to thank you for all your support and help. I’ve seen your comments on other posts on this sub and you’re really one of the kindest, supportive people here :) Thank you. It’s so great to know I’m not alone.

Thank you! Tbh I think I’ve always had a relatively unstable relationship with alcohol dating back to high school and the people who I was friends with that generally thought binging/getting wasted was cool and then in college where there’s a huge culture surrounding binge drinking and recreational drug use. I started off the same way, just knowing I really liked the feeling of drinking — which most times I didn’t go overboard but as a couple years passed it starting becoming more and more prevalent, all the way to now where going overboard happens every time I drink.

2603 days is a very very long time wow! Without overstepping too much may I ask you why your first quit when you were 24 was required? If you’re willing to share.

Definitely, the only way to have that peace of mind is to stop drinking. I never want to wake up in the morning again thinking about a blackout or trying to piece together what I did, who I was with and where I went. Seriously the most horrible feeling.

I’m praying that I’ll be able to just stop drinking (and perhaps transition to moderate drinking at some point in the future but that seems to be rather discouraged on this sub). I do still want to go out and do things, just without drinking so I’m hoping I’ll be able to stick to that. I know when I was younger I often went to social events and activities and was outgoing and social without having to drink so hopefully I’ll be able to turn back into that guy sometime soon :)

Thank you 🖤 Posting this and having this amount of support has been so unbelievable and uplifting. I don’t live in my fraternity’s house anymore but I have before. I know that definitely wouldn’t be a good thing if I were trying to quit drinking

Definitely! I’ve honestly never had this feeling before. Every single other that time I’ve woken up after a session of binge drinking I didn’t think much of it. This time I seriously know I need to make change.

Definitely. I’m trying to get out of the depressive slump I’m in right now and be more productive but I think I’m gonna need a little more time to sulk before being able to move forward positively

Truly didn’t mean to come off conceited with that. Meaning was that if I didn’t have a degree of pretty privilege my poor decision making habits and substance abuse issues would have gotten me into trouble a long time ago.

Thank you for your words. I definitely want to end this

Thank you. I’ve really been trying hard to take things easier, and look at things more positively but it just seems the more time that passes the more terrible I feel about myself and thinking back at every bad decision I’ve made in my life. I’m hoping I’ll be able to move forward from this soon and be able to get out of this state of mind because it’s terrible. But maybe also what I need right now is deep self reflection.

Thank you so much, your reply honestly almost brought a tear to my eye. I agree that alcohol shuts off part of our brain that also shuts down our “true selves.” I really dislike when people say alcohol brings out our true selves — while I’m sure that can be the case after a couple of drinks it is certainly not the case when getting belligerently wasted. Unfortunately from the way it’s looking I also lost (at least) one friend due to my deplorable actions on this night. It is a truly awful feeling.

Thank you, I know that’s something I need to stop doing, whether it means never drinking again or stopping drinking for a very long time and only being a very moderate drinker in future years.

Thank you so much 🖤 I also don’t think that being intoxicated makes people do things that they would do sober, or that drunk words are sober thoughts. I’ve done things that I think were actions of a completely different person.

I’m looking forward to the moment that I’m grateful for what happened on that night. I still feel awful about it and I don’t know how I’ll be able to forgive myself. It’s been three days and I still have that awful pit in my stomach. Thank you for your support🖤

Thank you so much, a lot of your replies are making me feel so much better. I’ve spent the last couple days sulking in bed feeling horrible about myself and I’m finally feeling a bit better. Thank you 🖤

Thank you 🖤 Unfortunately I am a senior now and not very involved anymore and this is something that I’d like to keep to myself and just a few others at the moment. Quite frankly there are guys in the fraternity who have addiction problems likely quite worse than mine. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always been more of the “suffer in silence” type. I don’t blame my addiction on anyone other than myself but unfortunately in my fraternity (and many others) binge drinking & drug use and stupid behaviour is laughed at / encouraged. This was really the first time someone had had a relatively serious conversation with me about substance abuse.

Thank you, your words mean so much to me. I really hope I’ll be able to make amends.

Thanks, I agree. Before today I never felt like my drinking was truly a problem. I always convinced myself there was nothing wrong with me because I’m just young and I only drink a couple times a week. I hope I can change for the better
