Has this incident changed your drinking habits at all?
I really hope so, it's sparked such anxiety in me I am questioning everything!
Yes. Most of the time I am capable of drinking responsibly but every so often I switch and drink so much I lose control and now my actions have crossed over from just being embarrassing to hurtful and shameful. I am starting regular counselling on Tuesday.
I really hope this feeling goes away, it's been 3 weeks and even though I have been forgiven and told multiple times to just let it go I just can't seem to accept it as a mistake.
Thank you
