Same Issue Yet Again-Imagine That
Hello,
I have never posted before so please forgive my ignorance to this sort of forum. I am just going to vent a little because I need to talk to someone.
I can sometimes drink in control but every so often my drinking just gets out of control. I have quite for weeks and months at a time and often drink in control but every 4th or 10th time I drink I take it too far. Blacking Out for periods of time and generally making a fool of myself. This past weekend I drank way too much and likely made a fool of myself, though I don't remember some of it.
Now I am depressed and embarrassed yet again. Same old crap!
My wife and I are going through a tough time right now and that is not helping but it is no excuse. I wish I just made a fool of myself every time, then I would have the good sense to not ever drink again.
I am tired of it, but I also grow tired of not being able to drink socially. I know I would be happier to just abstain, but my life has been built around socially drinking.
Are there others out there that have/had this same pattern?
Can you offer an bits of advice? Thanks so much
