 "difficult but worth doing"
How I did it: well im naturally a shy person so i often found the alcohol was a brilliant way of overcoming that haha and i realised i drink when im bored as well, seein as there is nothing to do in my town for someone my age really.

More "How I Did It" stories

It made me
feel better
How I did it: The few times I drank in the past couple of months, all I could think about (while drinking) was how I would feel in the morning. Or about how sick I could become if I drank too much. My tolerance went down a ton also, so it took even less for me to catch a buzz. Basically, I realized that I didn't need drinking to have fun. In fact, chances are good that it only put a damper on the fun I was already having. Read how I did it…
It made me
nice!
How I did it: Before, we could walk to the bar. Now we have to drive. It's made a huge difference in how we live. Now, we enjoy the occasional beverage, but it is not the sole purpose of every weekend. This has led me to getting closer to other goals, like losing weight and working out more. Read how I did it…
It made me
aware
How I did it: I wrote down every drink I had and how many units it represented. Then I totaled that up at the end of the week, then totaled those up at the end of the month. Read how I did it…

Take Control
6 days ago
I enjoy drinking wine and generally, I manage my drinking well, until I am in a social situation where there is a lot of drinking going on. I have had a few recent situations where I drank waaay too much and ended up embarrasing myself, or saying something that I regretted the next day. This has got to stop and I have got to take control of my drinking. I will no longer drink to the point that I compromise my pride or my relationships with people I care about.

I HATE being drunk, but I keep doing it. I really love drinking so I have a hard time stopping. Im very happy with having 1-3 drink sometimes with dinner but I hate getting really drunk, which I do sometimes with friends. I usually regret it in the morning. I just dont know what else to do when Im with people, and I have a hard time remembering whne to stop once I get going. Im going to try to cut back on getting drunk.

I drank last Saturday night. I poured the last bit of rum down the drain KNOWING that the liquor store would be closed Sunday. I was FINE!! I’ve never had withdrawls, or anything like that. I just felt like that was where I would end up if I kept it up. I did buy some rum yesterday just to relax and watch some movies at home (I didn’t have to work this morning). That’s it! I’m working tonight, so Iw on’t drink. I don’t work tomorrow, but I d o have to be at work at 6 am Sunday. So, I won’t drink tomorrow night….I hope. We will see…...........................

I don’t need to stop, just take a bit of control. The trick would be to drink less at my band rehearsals, I guess. I’m very nervous and can’t play without a drink, and besides… I LIKE to drink. I just don’t have to get wasted every fuckin’ time.
I was a very good girl for the past two days, but I’ve been ill, so maybe that doesn’t really count.

My family always drank. My mom still drinks. If she’s off work, she will start about 1 or 2 in the afternoon! I don’t want to be like that! But, I am definitely heading down the same road. I usually don’t start until about 7pm or so. I may have 2 or 3 drinks over a few hours. I may drink half a bottle. Ya’never know. I want to be a better example for my son. And, how am I supposed to go back to school, study, and do homework when I’m drinking??

A friend moved away, which has changed my social life dynamics a bit. I am drinking far less now.
I just enjoy drinking a lot. But I guess I probably “use” it a bit too much. Like, to fog away my problems, to be more social, as a painkiller. Those kind of things.
I just need to keep an eye on me, and keep healthier.
