Question: Im ruining my life with alchol!.!?
I dont drink every day!.
I usually only go out every 2-3 weeks and when I do i get really drunk not so drunk that I cant walk or im sick or anything just drunk so i act out of character!.
Since ive being going out, my life has become worser and worser, and I thnik its the alchol thats ruining it!.
Last night I went out and now today everyone hates me because they didnt know where I'd gone all night and they was so worried they looked for me for two hours!.

At first when im drunk im just happy and having a good time then by the end of the night something happens to ruin it!.

Answers:
I imagine you are drinking to have a good time!. your emotions are loosened and you think its fine to keep drinking!. Why dont you just slow down when you realise you are thinking that!. Its going to be hard at first but just think once the nights over and the next morning you wont have that awful guilt feeling as you will have been in control of yourself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

don't drink for a while - and see what happens!. it won't effect you that much, and, whether you drink again or not or drink heavily or not, you can be proud that you set yourself a goal that you achieved!. I've been watching "Ladette to Lady" and all the girls, their main problem is drinking, and these girls can really blossom into beautiful things (that they really are on the inside) except alchohol holds them back!. Lol, give it a try, it'll be the best thing for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

every 2-3 weeks isnt so bad!. many people go out every fri and sat and get absolutely wasted!. unless you get into fights or go to the toilet in alleys i dont think your friends will think youre that bad

maybe when you go out try having a soft drink inbetween every alcohol drink, that should stop you getting as drunkWww@FoodAQ@Com

just drink non-alcoholic drinks and pretend that they're alcoholic and you'll be able to enjoy yourself OK plus as everyone Else get drunk you'll be able to nice how stupid they look/act and that will cheer you up!.

don't tell anyone your alcohol free otherwise you'll end up being nominated taxi service!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

well alcohol is very powerful & deadly diease!. i am in the same boat i also have to stop drinking!. go to aa meetings & get a sponser!. last weekend i blackout & hit my head on my bathroom tub!. that's it for me!. my liver is also abnormal!. lots of problems come from alcohol!. it will destroy your life!. must stop & go to aa meetings!. trust meWww@FoodAQ@Com

just don't drink,

i was the same when i wa 16-17, so i just stopped for a few weeks completely just to prove to myself that i could, when i started to drink again i drank with some new found sense after seeing my friends drunk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

hi you dont need to drink to have a good time but if you want to drink you could try haveing an alcholic drink then having a soft drink , and keep alternating or you coul say ill only have three/two drinks tonight and thats all !.
good luck hope u find a solutionWww@FoodAQ@Com

Every time I tried to go out and not get drunk it didn't happen!. In fact trying to control my drinking was the hardest thing for me to do!. That's why I no longer drink, 1 was too many and a 1000 were never enough!. I got help through AA xWww@FoodAQ@Com

Look on Amazon, get the Allen Carr book, the easy way to stop drinking!. He also does a smoking book, both have worked for me!. I knew alcohol was ruining my life, but still kept drinking!.
Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Behave responsibly - don't drink so much and let the people who care about you know where you are and let them know if you're going to be late home!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

YOUR VERY BRAVE , YOU NO U NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, GO FOR HELP OR TRY AND HAVE A SOFT DRINK EVERY SECOND ONE !. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM MYSELF AND HAVE BEEN OK FOR 9 YEARSIWww@FoodAQ@Com

I lost control of alcohol once and it caused me endless pain, I feel you should get help with your problem!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

TRY SOME WILL POWER!!!!!!! Jesus, some people are so pathetic!.!.!.!."How can I go out without getting drunk!?!?!?!?" What kind of a question is that!.!.!.just dont do it!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Learn to control your drinking before it controls you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

EAT A LARGE MEAL BEFORE YOU GO OUT!

I bet if you recall the last times you were slaughtered!.!.!. did you eat a big dinner!?!? or no dinner!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

isnt the fact it makes you act out of character, and turn your friends against you enough!?!?!?

i dont drink, and never have, and i always have a great time,
once at a party, a girl i had been at a previous party with was trying to get me to drink, i said no i dont, she said, oh come on you must have been drunk that last time, LOL, i wasnt

it does cloud your judgement and the fact you are noticing its detrimental to your life should be all the reasons you need not to drink
try a few nights out without it, you will soon see you have as good a time and you will be in control, and wont wake up feeling rough the next day !!! lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

I do the same and I understand as I've been having these conscious thoughts recently and I get annoyed with myself!. I don't like the way I turn sometimes even if it relatively harmless, its just not me!.

I'm thinking of making every other drink a soft one or water and avoiding the shots!. I no its weird when you see all your friends getting hammered and your not!. There on a different level to you but what I've figured is if I don't want to be on there level then I have to make that choice not to be and not just go with the flow!.

If it turns out that I don't actually like going out with my mates while on a night out clubbing then at least I've come to that decision relatively soberish!. If you really think about maybe drinking in excess is because you don't really enjoy the night's out that much!. That's the conclusion I'm starting to come too!.

I can't choose the lifes my friends decided to live but I can choose mine!. Good luck trying to get the balance in your right too!Www@FoodAQ@Com

By learning moderation!.!.!. possibly the hardest thing to do!.!.!. but in the end it is the most rewarding!. Learning that you only need to get drunk enough to get a good buzz and then maintain it and not drinking till you fall down!. I like to say drink until enlightenment and not impairment!.

It's difficult!. It took me a couple years!.!.!. Then again I have no willpower!. In the end though I'm able to go out and have a great time without getting trashed!. I drink enough that I'm happy and then I just maintain it through the night!. Now, I'm no angel I do on occasion go out and get sloppy drunk!. For my birthday or to celebrate something!.!.!. it's rare though!.

Quitting all together is the wrong approach!. There is nothing wrong with alcohol when used correctly!. We live in a society that is all or nothing!. Either you can or you can't drink!. Either you can have cake or you can never have cake!. You can enjoy things in moderation if you learn self control!.

Learn to control your in take and you'll enjoy yourself more!.!.!. and your friends will enjoy you more!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I gave up alcohol about a year and a half ago - best thing I ever did!. I was like you - wouldn't drink even every week, but when I did I couldn't limit it to just a couple like other people could!.

You should get the Allen Carr book - it really gives you a different view on alcohol!. I enjoy myself without it now, and was out until 3am last night, but didn't have the hangover, regret or guilt today!.

Just because everybody else drinks is not a good reason for you to!. When I go out and have soft drinks I find that I can go out and socialise and have fun, but I know when to call it a night!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
