Sorry not women related but we are all about becoming better men. Not sure if you can help.
I don’t drink that often, but when I do, I drink to oblivion. Yesterday - example. Bought 4 for the football, drank 14 which is about one and a half gallons of 5% beer.
I’m getting a bit too old for this now. I have history of substance abuse - binges, plus smokedherb daily for 15 years. Gave up a few years back.
issue is, the only time I don’t feel background pressure and stress is either when drunk or the hangover. Bizzarely the hangover is fine as I’m distracted. Libido jumps a lot up as I’m for once not stressed. Stress is mainly job, anything
Even though it’s max 2x a month, it’s a problem. It takes me 3-5 days to feel nomal.
the idea of life stretching out without a drink forever just seems boring.
So, any of you recognise this binging tendancy? Could you beat it? Unless I am totally wasted, it never feels like enough. “Half drunk” i hate. It’s like a tease.
Considering getting counselling. Just FYI not doing AA or any groups and not religious. My sister says therapy as she thinks it’s probably something deeper driving it.
I don’t consider myself an alcoholic as I go weeks without drinking.
sorry if this is off topic but just hope someone might be able to offer perspective, and places like Reddit are full of divs. At least you guys broadly are similar to me.
