Finally Have Had Enough Humiliating Nights and Horrible days
Finally Have Had Enough...... I have been lucky that as an adult my drinking hasn't gotten me into big trouble or endangered my children, but I feel out of control and I don't like it. I don't drink everyday, more like once a week, but it seems I really binge and humiliate myself. I fee like no one around me wants to admit it's not normal, are they in denial? is that normal? I seem to be the only one who thinks it is a problem. And they are not drinkers saying this either, I just don't think they understand how scary it is for me

Welcome to the family.
Yes, it sounds like they're in denial. It's good that you recognize the problem and want to do something about it. I too have found lots of support and good information here.

Hi Humiliated
I think we're the best judge of whether it's a problem or not. I had friends who drank more than I did but it always affected me far more profoundly than it did them.
Drinking was part of their life - it was my life.
Not many of them, or my family, understood why I felt it was a problem either, because their experience was different.
You'll find a lot of understanding and support here
Welcome!

Hi and welcome to the forum. I agree with the others - if it's a problem for you, it's a problem, period. We can choose to get off the ride whenever we want to - we don't have to keep going until things get "bad enough."
No one saw my problem either (of course I tried to hide it well). I didn't have any of the typical consequences. But I had the hangovers and the obsession and the inability to control my drinking once I picked up the first one. It got to be very depressing and tiring - and unhealthy too......
Lots of support here - glad you found us!
