Thanks guys! I really appreciate knowing people have the same problem as me and also that some of you guys were strong enough to get out of it. It motivates me to work hard and do my best to be sober.
@Luthor same for me. I have a great family, great friends, I'm studying in university and I will probably do my MBA next fall. I don't see why I do this to myself. I don't want this to ruin my life and even make it less enjoyable as it should be.

@Finnie Thanks for this. I binge on the weekends and holidays. I tend to feel an excess of energy a few hours before binge drinking. Like I even feel kinda violent and go to the gym or hit my punching bags for a hour or so. Though, when I'm done it's even worst and I don't listen to myself and still go on to the university parties or at a bar with friends even though I don't enjoy partying that much.

I think you have to be straight up honest with yourself to break the cycle. I'm not going out tonight, not under any circumstances. Once you break the havin to go out at the weekend cycle, things get easier.

First of all Habs, I like you.
Here is a quote from the book "Alcoholics Anonymous" (first edition),
"If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic."

Votre anglais est parfait
C'est moi qui a de la difficulté avec la langue. Alcooliques sont de toutes formes et tailles. On dirait que l'un de nous pour moi. Nous ne sommes pas si mauvais quand nous arrivons à accepter cela.
