Posted: 5/16/2006 3:47:09 PM | Thank you Ont_Buck, I always ask questions. Its better to be safe then sorry in my opinion.
I've been wanting to drink for years now, but my ex was controlling & I didn't do or eat/drink anything he didn't(thats why I was excited, I finally get to do the things I want, like eatting a pickled egg!!). Now that I'm trapped in this strang city I have no friends & family here to drink with. So I watch tv & drink with the landlords dog or I play on the comp & have a drink. I'm not interested in going to a bar as its too costly. | |

Posted: 5/16/2006 3:52:17 PM | Honestly, I dont suggest that you should be drinking alone with a dog or on a computer. Some people do granted, but I think thats when they have 'drank' their friends away. If you start out your 'drinking career' this way, I think in the long run, you are asking for trouble. A few years ago I thought I had a drinking problem, and I believe that I really did. I was depressed, had lost friends cause i drank a lot, and I wasnt who I wanted to be. So I sought out AA and didnt drink for over 5 years. As of late, I have decided to see if it was just a 'stage'. Its a HUGE gamble I know, but its working for me. Hopefully, if it becomes a problem for me, I will do what I need to do.....anyway, I dont suggest drinking alone, the party sucks when you are the only guest.....please, for your own sanity, find something else to do while you are on the PC or hanging with the landlords dog.... | |

Always blame the person who got you drunk... yourself. | |

Posted: 5/16/2006 5:14:46 PM | | Well said island. I'd also like to mention to kingrattus, that while there is nothing wrong (in my opinion) with having a drink or 2 at home (a glass of wine, or a beer on a hot day) I wouldn't suggest making a habit of it. Drinking, at least to me, is a social thing. alcohol is a depressant, as such can help you to relax and relieve some stress BUT it is also a drug, and as such must be consumed with discretion. | |

I hope I don't offend, OP, but you say that you sit home alone, watching TV, playing on the PC and you drink. Why do you do this ?? ... drink, that is. Do you know ?? Is it that your world at home looks and feels better to you when you drink ? Does the solitude not feel quite as solitary when you've had a few ? Because I hope you realize what you're doing here. You're trying to change things in your life that appear not so nice by dulling and desensitizing yourself enough so they look better. And anyone who travels down the drug addiction road knows that this is step number one. It may not seem that way at the very beginning, but you are building a 'crutch' for yourself, a crutch that will be very difficult to lay down when the time comes to do so.
I wish you the best of luck in this, OP. Alcohol consumption can be pleasant and social interactions can be enjoyable with the addition of a drink or two. But if you're using drinking to change the look of things that are not so pleasant in your life, you might wish to change the unpleasant things rather than changing yourself with alcohol. Again ... not wishing to offend ... more to give a warning from someone who's seen a lot of things to do with alcohol over the years. Among many that I know, my father used alcohol in much the same way -- to recolour parts of his life that were not so pleasant -- and he died 20 years before he should have from alcohol-induced dementia ... and very nasty way to end one's life, indeed.
