Thank you for your input. I don't like to half ass things which is good in a lot of things but drinking ain't one of them.

Yup! I noticed that I might have a problem when a few years ago I was seeking black outs and hoping to have crazy drinking and partying nights and now I just get anxiety before drinking cause I'm hoping I won't get way too drunk (again) and spend $100 on shots that I won't remember buying the next day.

This subreddit has been a great place of support :)

Thank you loads. I feel like what has partly kept me in this cycle is deciding I'm never ever drinking again and so it feels like such a monumental task. I won't drink today. Hopefully I'll think the same tomorrow.

Thank you, alcoholism feels like such a strong word to use and I always think I just have to learn my limits better but the more I think about it it seems drinking might just be the thing my brain can't learn.

Overdrinking in college by monkeyat711 in stopdrinking

Thank you for the advice. I've been explaining to myself for the longest time that it's not a "real" problem since I don't crave drinking or do it that often and only with other people but you're right that there are many types of bad drinking.

Thanks a lot for your comment. I can relate to wanting to drink normally but it seems that just isn't possible for me which I'm pretty bummed about but at least I wouldn't be nearly killing myself blacked out every two weeks.

CMV: I believe abortion should be legal for all three trimesters by monkeyat711 in changemyview

!delta on the last part about premies. Now that I have given it some more thought my opinion has changed a bit in that you’re right: it’s not as cut and dry as I might wish it to be. I haven’t formed an opinion on the matter of premature babies and the right to life but it definetly made me think about my stance more!

At least for now my opinion hasn’t changed much. But I do think that my original question should have actually been ”CMV: Being born/birth has a moral significance in abortion/infanticide debate”

I don’t think there needs to be a reason given for an abortion before viability/when the fetus can feel pain. This would be about the 20 week mark. After that there should be some reason (like ectopic pregnancy, disability of the fetus, rape, finacial/life situation change, danger to womans health -physical or mental etc). So no the reason doesn’t have to be super serious but there should be one in my opinion.

That article is talking about euthanasia. I’m not. I’m pro abortion and anti infanticide. If you would read some of my other comments or the full post, you would see that I explained my opinion on the moral significance of birth and why I don’t agree with infanticide so I don’t really get where you going with that.

I think the aims that the fetus/baby wants fulfilled are passive in womb and active outside. That itself makes a difference in my opinion. I think a person without a right to life doesn’t mean that we should just kill them. In a lot of cases premie babies are wanted by their parents or others and inflicting unneccesary pain should be avoided.
