Discussion Drinking

[indigomoon]

Okay, so I don't know if this really pertains to suicide but I have just found my new favorite self destructive behavior—- alcohol. I have not drank that much throughout my entire life because both my parents were alcoholics. But why did no one tell me how much better I would feel when I'm a little lit! This is freaking awesome. Btw, I'm a little tipsy right now, so if I ramble just ignore me. I have to say that I am becoming partial to vodka. There are soooo many mixed drinks that you can make with it! I feel that I should try them all. Does anyone else like to drink when they are feeling shitty about themselves or their life? I imagine the answer is yes. Probably why I shouldn't be drinking but this is definitely helping with my pain and insomnia. What is everyone's thoughts?

yes 100%. And the best/worst part is that I realize that drinking, like any addiction, is only 'fun' in the first few sessions. So, somewhere in the near future, I'll be consuming way more alcohol and not seeing any of the benefits. But yeah drinking is pretty much all that i have right now lol

It's a slippery slope. I don't drink like I used to. I've never used alcohol for helping through scenarios because I've witnessed my aunt who's an alcoholic. Just be careful with alcohol.

I don't drink anymore. Used to. Like A LOT. Never an alcoholic, though. One thing to watch is coming down. Alcohol is a depressant.

Alcohol is both an upper and a downer.
It starts out as an upper when you first get buzzed.
But after several drinks, it starts becoming a depressant.
In the depressant mode, it will only make your shitty mood worse.

Trick is to learn how to nurse your drink, so you keep just enough alcohol in your blood for that happy buzz.
Also, don't drink on an empty stomach, because the alcohol is absorbed into the blood so quickly, that it is difficult to control your buzz.
Like all drugs, your body will develop a tolerance for alcohol, requiring more for the same effect.
Alcohol is a mild poison that slowly damages the liver.
Sustained moderate to heavy drinking will eventually take its toll on the liver.
Dying from a damaged liver is a horrible way to go, definitely not recommended.

Every once in a while, I'll drink and listen to music. It can range from sad to upbeat. Usually 80s new wave. I just try to have a little time to myself and have fun dancing. Bonus: my cat gets hyped up and zooms around my apartment. Haha.

I just try to focus on little things to get through until there's nothing left

Came to give the same advice. If you can maintain just a buzz (not quite drunk), you'll feel great. I can't seem to do it. I get buzzed, feel great, stop giving a fuck about anything, and keep pounding drinks thinking maybe this time it'll work out… end up wasted and horribly depressed every time.

Not to mention, worse yet, the heavy depression that lingers for days after sobering up. That's why I used to just stay drunk all the time. And that's why I sobered up for several years. Back to drinking now though. Fuck it!

Fuck, how spooky SAME. I never drank but I just drank 4 things and I'm all alone and it actually feels okay, at least for now. Spotify is going and I'm pissibg my cats off for sure rn sibging at them abd my beighbors will have a warning posted on my door by morning for sure. I know I can't deal with everyday like this, but today, right now, I am willing to live out just this drunken stupor I feel

Yeah, me too!
It seems like knowing what to do, and actually doing it, are two different things.
Then again, that's true for all drugs.
I think it is the very definition of addiction.
