I dont want to be drinking at all. But for some reason I do. I think it is a terrible waist of money and not good for the body. But I find it hard to hold myself back on the rare chance I have money. Are there any techniques you guys have to stop the urge to drink? Im just a lonley bachelorette and I drink my lonleyness away...
Well...Though I too struggled with addiction, I can't say I have experience with alcohol specifically. hmmm.
If I may ask, how did you first get involved with alcohol?
My parents used to drink and were the first ones to introduce me to it. When we drank it was a time of celebration. I dont find it as fun anymore it just waists my money and makes me queezy.
Im not a seriouse addict but I find myself waisting a lot of money on it. I just wish I was one of those people who didnt feel the need to drink. Thats the problem I sometimes feel like I have to get drunk in order to relax or its a way of coping with being alone. Perhaps AA meetings will help but right now it feels like nothing will work.
Ah jeez. Do you still live with your parents? If they drink too then that would be tough. I hear AA has a poor track record, but it might be worth researching to see if it's something that would work for you. Therapy is what helped me with my addiction, but from I am reading addiction is only a side issue for you. If I understand what you're saying correctly then the real problems are anxiety and loneliness. Do I have that right, or am I misunderstanding?

As for the boredom well...we'll do our best to be interesting. I am probably not the person to go to for that. I'm kind of a boring person.
