Sad and Ashamed
I am a seemingly, normal, upstanding, responsible adult, and yet I cannot get my binge drinking under control. I am now up to 3-4 binges a week (3-6 drinks/night that ALWAYS leave me with a terrible hangover). I probably had 6-8 drinks Saturday night. It's Monday and I still feel hungover.
These past few years have been dreadful, and I know I'm using alcohol to escape, but I'm running out of excuses for my inexcusable behavior.
My health plan does not include coverage for chemical dependency treatment and, because I'm self-employed, there is no way I could be gone for a month anyhow.
I grow more and more desperate with each binge. Can anyone out there help?
