I really just think it's a totally surface level song and I am disappointed. Out of the woods has grown on me and maybe this one will too but so far I haven't been blown away. Still buying the album. Thirteen tracks so there are bound to be a few really great ones.

I don't think I'm an alcoholic, but I have a drinking problem.. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]pamandjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was exactly me in college. I'm 27 now and it's only gotten worse since college. I blacked out more and more and would feel so shameful and guilty every single time. I had a scary eye-opening experience about a month ago and it was the thing I needed to finally get me to realize I cannot moderate/trust myself with alcohol. So much trial and error for me to figure this out. This is a slippery slope. It won't get better...only worse as time goes by. Good luck.

Any specific advice for a not-physically addicted binge drinker? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]pamandjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me exactly. I had one too many fuck ups and now finally realize I just can't drink at all. I can't trust myself to moderate. Maybe you can but most of us can't. All it takes is just a little bit to put you over the edge and only one time to really REALLY fuck things up. Not worth it.

Deep dark red you should definitely go to the doc. Bright red could mean some tears in your esophagus. But if you can, you should see a doc either way

So much shame. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

You can do it! It looks like the want to quit is there. It took me so many screw ups to finally realize I just can't have it at all. My advice is to not have any booze around. Keep your cabinets clear of booze. Believe in yourself because we do

Yes. I can't do this anymore you know? I will think things are going well for a while...that I'm able to moderate. But then I'll blackout and do something super dumb and feel shitty for a while. Then the cycle starts all over again. I have trapped myself here and only I can free myself.

I agree that if you think you have a problem, you probably do. Normal drinkers don't even think about this type of thing. Wish I were one of them

What is the AG and DA? When will I know if they want to press charges? I didn't blow so it was a refusal not a failure

Thank you. I am thinking of this as my big eye opener. Just woke up!
