I had some parrot bay last night

Dee74

do you mean the rum alli?
are you looking for help to stop drinking?

Sorry - I dunno what the point of the post is?

D

alli19

Yes and kinda I don't really think I should be drinking at all but once in a while I have a slip up

MIRecovery

Until we give up drinking there can be no peace. If you are like 1000's of others you will be right back to where you were faster than you can say, "I can control my drinking."

Sorry but these are the realities of alcoholism

bbthumper

Perhaps you can provide some more information so that others may share their experience? What makes you feel that you shouldnt be drinking?

alli19

Idk I just drink I mean I'm young I don't think there's a reason ijust do it there was a reason y I did drugs but I don't think there's. A reason y I drink

Alcohol is a drug too.

LexieCat

So you think your reason for drinking is different from the reason you use other drugs? Don't you do both to get high or feel different?

Most people who have an addiction to drinking or to drugs find that to stay clean/sober they have to avoid both. Use of one tends to lead to use of the other. If your goal is to stay clean of drugs, then you would be well advised to avoid the booze, too.

And it's a little disturbing that you seem to think it's amusing that you did it. "Slipping up once in a while" may happen to some people, but it isn't anything to brag about. This is a matter of life and death to a lot of us here, and possibly to you, too.

alli19

OK well I'm not bragging About it that's dumb if anyways me had a problem. With me saying that I was drinking then they shouldn't have comment it I don't think that because I did drugs I should stop drinking I'm not an alcoholic

alli19

Oh and yes I do think its a different reasons. Y I drink I think so

hypochondriac

So if you've stopped doing drugs and you're not an alcoholic why does it matter if you drink a little rum?

Personally though I use stuff to make me feel better about myself. I don't thing that the problem is the substance it's the state of mind. There's no specific reason either. I used to come with excuses/reasons but really it didn't matter why.

DisplacedGRITS

so what's the reason for your post, love? i'm not picking up a lot of what you're laying down.

vegibean

I'm kind of with GRITS on this one also.

I don't want to NOT support anyone on here, but if you don't think you have a problem...???

I have friends that have quit doing drugs, and they occasionally drink, I have one friend who had a bad drug problem, and drinks every weekend, I would call him a binge drinker...

Do you think your relationship with alcohol is healthy, or not? I think that's the question that you need to ask yourself.

Either way, I think the point of everyone else is that they don't want to see you destroy your life because you chose a different "drug", as another poster pointed out, alcohol is a drug... still.

It's also kind of insensitive to post on a board where people are desperately trying to stay sober that you drank and seem happy about it. Kind of a tease.

Kind of like going to a weight watchers board and posting I had a huge triple ice cream sundae with extra hot fudge

alli19

OK I get what u all recipes saying but like I said I didn't mean it like that like I was happy but if ppl have a problem Don't write nothing I wasn't teasing no one about it but I understand how it came out

Itchy

Alli are you trying to quit drinking or drugging or both? Or not?

hamabi

I understand you don't want to or plan to stop drinking. Will you continue to post the brands your drinking, because it's important that people know what they are?

paul99

Never too young or too old to have a problem with alcohol.
