Same thing last night :(

Went to the bar to watch a ball game and got home at 8 a.m. and several hundred $$$'s poorer
 
at happy hour

Rarely works out that way ... wonder why I keep making the same mistakes?
 
i remeraber those days , did ya buy alot of rounRAB or are the drinks pric, if your young you may grow out of this ,take a closer look , go there an dont drink ,try just a few if you cant stop , this could be serious, i hope your not driving like i say it could just be a faze. becareful stay in touch an try these suggestions, how old are you:wave:oh what bars are open until 800am
 
It could be a problem, it might not. I know a lot of people who go out and drink and drink and drink, I think it's a problem but it's not that big of a problem, because you're only looking for a good time right? It's when you start drinking on your own, that's when you need to worry. I'd keep a check on it, make sure it's not too frequent and if you feel like your losing control don't go down the pub. Buy a dvd and sit in and watch that.
I'm a recovering alcoholic and when I go out to the pub I just drink coke. You can still have a good time with your mates and not drink. They might think you're a bit wierd for it but that's their problem.
But when you start drinking Baileys in your coffee in the morning to get the buzz going you know you're in trouble LOL
 
hi , the same mistakes same,, results , try stopping for awhile , an try it again, for alcoholics its the first drink that gets us drunk, its mental compulshion that turns physical ,then we cant stop at just 1 , mabey on an ocasaion but evetualy 1 after another how it goes . you might want to call you local AA an ask the same,. good luck to you scott ,alcoholizam is a disease;)
 
I'm from New Orleans ... many 24 hour bars :(

I realize I do have a problem now, hope I find the strength to do something about it.

Pretty much drink out of boredom since I don't have many single frienRAB and I'm not in a relationship.
 
Hey Pboy,

Welcome! I used to have the same problem and I finally figured out that it was much easier to let the drinks go down with a large group and it was a way to completely distract myself of everything bad that has happened in my life. It was a total cover up for me.. The next morning.... I woke up and it was all still there and on top of it I had a husband who felt negleted because I chose to stay at the bar instead of going home and spend it with him....

Keep all those things in mind.... are you drinking because something emotional is painful?????

Good luck to you! We are here for you!
 
hey great addmitting is the first step . try calling your local AA hot line they will help you. yes life can be boreing, but you will be ok,are you young .when i was young i went through the same thing,try to find a good hobbie of some sort, keep talking to us we are here to help you, you can save yourself alot of trouble by recordnizeing your problem,the people where you live ,that have the same problems,just remeraber no matter where you go it follows wheather in the city or country, this is a big step, make that call an keep us updated, god bless you,scott:):wave:it will get better in time just keep hanging in there follow your heart an do the next right thing
 
hi the social aspect, for me i dont miss it,oh at 1time how i liked the lights the the music the people, if you go in indending on having 1 , an staying to close you might want to take good look at that patern, i thought i was missing something or going to miss out on something these were justifications for drinkingfor me ,people have been known to stop drinking for years ,go out 1 night drink all night ,an sometimes end up in the biggest mess of there life, its not how much or how often it is what it does to us, try hanging out an , just drink flavored water, keep us updated, an be ,. careful, alcohol is cunning balfaling an powerful, mabey you could try just not going to the bar, good luck to you ,:wave::)
