I agree i think it is definatley an attention thing with men. Once im wasted i crave the wrong kind of attention.
I dont know why, i love my bf and have absolultely no want to cheat on him when im sober.
Youve been straight for 9 days. Least weve taken the first step right?? Hopefully we stay on track and get our **** together. Im not one that will be able to cut back causei dont drink everyday. Just every w-e or so, and 9 times outta 10 i drink way way to much and something bad happens. Whether i fight with a friend, come home at 5 and not now how i got home. Many of my friends hate me cuz they feel they need to try so hard and stay sober to control me.
I can totally relate to your experience. I can't count the number of times that I have gone out with friends, the night ended, but I just had to go off and find another bar for "one last drink", which turned into many. I also ended up with guys and woke up with some recollection of the event, but then a void in memory. I would't say I was taken advantage of, as I realize now there was some underlying issue that made me seek this "attention".
Fortunately, you're 23, and have made the right decision to address your behaviors. I'm 43, and its taken me 23 years, and a lot of "I can do this on my own" attempts to realize 1) I can't do this on my own 2) There are underlying reasons for my behavior that I am simply masking by drinking 3) unless I stop drinking I will never fix the underlying problems.
I have only been off alcohol for 9 days, after years of daily drinking, and too many nights of binging, so don't feel qualified to provide any kind of advice, except this. Stop now so you don't waste as many years of your life as I have.
i could see alcoholism in you. for an alcoholic (i am not talking about normal drinkers, even hard drinkers) only a spiritual solution can help. try the program of AA not just the meeting of AA.

My bf of 3 yrs has just dumped me because of my drinking. We have been fighting for so long now as i cant control myself.
I can not just have 1 drink and stop. If everyone around me is getting drunk and havin a good time i have to go overboard. I have been unfaithful to him therefore that was the end of us. Loosing him has made me do this and finally admit i have a problem. I can never come home with everyone else like a normal person, there have been times i have told my bf to go home without me and id stay there alone. I have lost most of my friends, alot of my things from drinking, ive upset a lot of ppl. Ive been taken advantage of by many guys. I need help. I want to stop drinking all together once and for all. I have promised my bf time and time again that he would no longer have to put up with me coming home wasted and not knowing how i got there and where my friends were. I feel if i dont get help now, i will loose everything dear to me. Im only 23 and i need to address my problem. If anyone can relate please, any advice will help me as im a mess..
