The problem as said; once It has a pattern or a cycle, only there it's going to be a solid part of your life, and once in it it becomes hard to control. For instance 3 beers in the weekend is absolutely fine. But there will be a times, hard times where you will fall and try to drink your troubles out. That's where addiction takes place.

It's vicious, I hope everyone would quit drinking for good.

I literally have 1 glass of wine and I'm depressed for a couple of days after. I hate this

[zachzahn]

Im currently stuck in a loop where i wake up feeling very depressed and I suppose hungover, but the first thing i do is start drinking to make those feelings disappear. And than it happens all over again the next day.

I'm just 21 and it's so difficult it helps me so much in so many ways but i have to accept reality fk it's difficult

I’m 44. I’ve been drinking heavily since I was 12. Pretty much everyday and definitely every single weekend. The last two years the anxiety and depression has gotten almost to the point of suicide, past the point of contemplation and not far from the point of execution. I do, however, have a highly skilled job, a lovely home and beautiful kids(I am, of course single due to putting the pub first) . I’m what’s called a functioning alcoholic but the facade can’t last much longer. I need help, no idea how to do it tho.

One thing i've noticed is people that drink a lot are often the angriest people i know. What i want to know is does the alcohol cause the anger or does anger cause the drinking?

I hope that I can change my ways I've been dependent for about a month I drink about a pint and a half of Fireball everyday my life has gotten worse as I've done it I hope somebody can leave me on the right path because right now I'm headed down a dark one

I drink twice a month and when I do, I drink heavily to the point where I get aggressive and say things that I do not mean. I really want to cut back or quit, but it’s very hard for me. Any advice?

I actually think that, in a small dose, it helps. I was depressed and found that, if i took an ammount of alcool once a week, it helped me find other ways to be happy. The day of the week changed every week. Once i found out THAT way, i never touched alcool. And now, 5 years later, i havent touched it since, just once or twice a year

Alcohol is a depressant. If you are depressed, very depressed, or close to contemplating suicide, consider quitting alcohol. For life.

[solomonbalogun]

Sad, angry, depressed, anxious or aggressive....

The only way to help an alcoholicer is to stop helping them.
They must help themselves.

[assassinshadowe]

if i will shit or i had a heavy day i have a drink and its fine so yeah "i'm all right"

[martincoleman]

So many methods to give it up and get back that valuable sense of feeling alive. Countless solutions are out there, and plenty of people have benefited from them. Maybe try go'ogling something such as Steffon Barkload's homepagw, or whatever else that fits you personally.

[niall]

I drink to solve my problems but there still there the next day, just amplified so another drink and then another. Ah the viscious cycle continues
