I learned that some alcoholics take things way too hard just as an excuse to drink. My home college team that I graduated from got their azzes beat last week, my girlfriend was stressing me out saying she was pregnant (she isn't), my brakes for my car ...well I got ripped off. Ok all that and I should have told my self, so what Sh*t happens, but I sucked down whiskey and beer for two days at a friends house. got sloppy drunk, yelled at my girlfriend for nothing and fell down the steps later that day. That is why I am here today. It's embarrassed I can't handle lifes problems without drinking or atleast telling myself that drinking is in my future. I have monday tuesday wednesday, thursday (which included going to a bar) and 2 hours of my day on friday sober. When I hang out with people drinking, i just need to leave if it is boring. That is freedom and possibilies that wasn't there before
