problem binge drinker
Hello all- I am brand new to this site.. I am a binge drinker, and only drink on occasion. However when I do drink I am unable to stop myself, and have to drink until I hit the bed.My hangovers are terrible and get bad withdrawels. I can go without drinking for a long period of time, but alcoholism is in my genes so I get worried about my intake. I have come to the conclusion that I just cannot drink anymore and am seeing a substance abuse counselor on Monday. I am just confused as to how I can go about living a sober life- AA is not my thing, I have tried it and do not feel comfortable being there. It is very difficult for me to be out in social settings and not drink. Does anyone have any suggestions?
