Trying
Hi there, I'm new.
I thought I'd make a post and lay out where I am. I binge drink, usually once a week but sometimes twice. I know I am dependent on those occasions I do consume alcohol. For the past year I've made the awful habit of drunk smoking too, which of course, is now another addiction I want to kick. My best friend also drinks. I rarely consume alcohol unless it's with him. I suppose I have been knowingly using him to justify how much I drink, and possibly vice versa actually. At this stage we're more like drinking buddies than anything and have been for some years (both 28). I just want to go cold turkey but know it isn't going to be easy. A colleague did text me earlier though asking if I would work New Years Day so she could have it off, and I have agreed in the hope it detours me from getting inebriated on New Years Eve like I always do.
Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas (even if you are a Scrooge like me),
Gray.
