Discussion Uni and alcohol

[cheyxnn]

I've been at uni for 3 week s and I think I may have start to have become dependent on alcohol??

Like I actually hate myself sober and I hate being sober. Getting drunk is the only time I get to feel not so anxious all the fucking time and I really think uni has heightened this. It's getting to the point where I'm drinking in my room alone during the day so I don't have to be sober. I just want to know if anyone else feels like this?

Maybe it's just the freedom as I was never really Allowed to drink like this before but like I actually hate being sober - I hate all of it. And I feel like when I get wasted I can at least feel better or like just not as miserable? Maybe I'm overthinking and this is just a freshers uni thing but like I suppose I just want to know if anyone else feels like this I guess.

I tried drinking in my first year, hated it. I know you might be doing it as a copping mechanism and everyone if different. I hated losing control though, I only ever did it in an attempt to be someone I wasn't so I could get some social recognition, but that didn't work well.
