How can i get back into party mode when drinking?!


Question: How can i get back into party mode when drinking?
My mother was never strict on me, I was free to do whatever I wanted. So iv been pretty wild since 12 and I'm now 23, I just got bored of partying, being wild. Iv settled down for a little over a year, I went out like 3 times last year and I can't socialize I just sit there and everyone thinks I'm boring or don't say a word to me anymore really when I use to be the life of the party. I don't really know the people I go out with. I used to go out with people I was close too, and I was able to be myself. Is it the change of friends or what? I'm a mom and I'd like to go out and enjoy myself once in awhile, I know there's other things out there to experience, and I did experience other things then drinking. But I wouldn't mind going out to have a few beers.. I also have bad anxiety would anyone think that's why I can't enjoy myself anymore? I wanna go out, but knowing the fact I can't be a blast like I used to be stops me from wanting to go out and have fun.

times change and people change evolution is the key. ull be okay



If going out and being the life of the party doesn't interest you anymore, that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, that might just be a sign that you're growing up. Just because you had fun when you were younger swinging from chandeliers doesn't mean you should still have fun doing that.

I would recommend sitting down and thinking of the things that you enjoy and then finding people that enjoy similar things. You have a child now. What about finding other single moms your age and having a girls night out?



keep drinking ull be the part



It sounds like you may need to find a more mature crowd now you've changed as a person. I'm not sure if you have a partner or not, but since I've settled and got married, I prefer socialising with other couples. Maybe if you're single try speed dating or something? If you're not interested in being paired up, see if you can get a friend to take dance/salsa classes - see if there is any in your local area. I'm 27 and I'm sure I would have laughed at the thought of it 10 years ago, but maybe join a book club or something if you enjoy reading. It sounds a bit lame, but find a likeminded group. I much prefer having a good chat and a few glasses of wine rather than clubbing now, where you cant really socialise in the true sense of the word.



First off, are you an Alcoholic?
No reason to feel about it, many more people than you know are.

You had a child, I'm guessing you stayed home, drank.
It takes a whole deal of self control to get back out there.
Is that what you want,,, to get back out there?

Those were younger days, days where we could act like fools, go out to the clubs.

I'm guessing you leave the home with thoughts of your child/children?
You need to find a way to let that go.

I have no children, and don't plan on it, not cause I can't, just cause I have problems and would hate to pass them on.

You sound like a logical person, if the alcoholism is a problem, check that.
Other than that, talk about whatever around other people, so what if it's about baby spit and stuff.
If they don't get it, they are the problem, they need to grow the hell up.
Get some friends who have the same interests as you.

The more you linger on the days past, the more you question, and to question your life now, is questioning your child/children.
It's not worth it to question yourself.

I'm sure if you (don't drive home yourself) get a few shots in yourself, you will talk up a storm.
Maybe it's not your friends, but you who thinks you are boring?
That's a problem you need to work out yourself, and by posting your question, I think you know?
Nobody can help you if you don't want help.

I'm an alcoholic, and it's not fun, I try, but I have nobody depending on me, so I let it slide.
It is a serious problem, hereditary, but not so much that it can't be broken.
