One is too many 1000 is never enough
I'm sitting at work rereading some old entries. I was shocked when I read that in some of my entries I mentioned "cutting back or stopping drinking for certain legnths of time". I always failed at my attempts partially I though because in my mind i had justified my reasons behind drinking. For example, "it's beach weekend everyone will be drinking, my classes were extra hard, I needed to unwind". These failed attempts were signs I had a deeper problem.. I didn't want to admit it then and I still don't really want to admit it now but it was signs of a problem with alcohol creeping in. I remember a friend of mine and I decided to dry out for a month. I lasted 2 1/2 weeks she was 3 days shy of her month too.
You don't have to be living on skid row drinking out of a brown paper bag to be an alcoholic. I can drink like a lady on some nights. There have been many 2 beer happy hours or 2 drinks after work..Other nights I'm that belligerant girl falling down, or I'm the girl that passes out on your couch and wakes up at 9:00 am looking for coffee. I'm the girl who always wants "one more before last call". I'm the girl looking for the after party or the pre party. I'm also the girl that on occasion blacks out and doesn't remember pieces of the evening. When I'm loaded I'll do things I won't do sober. I'll snort coke off a mirror if someone brings it out. .I'll make out with some guy in the bar because I think he's cute. I love a good joint to wash my beers down with and in front of men I will be bolder, cuter and funnier then I ever am sober.
If you've made pacts to not drink and have failed you might have a problem with alcohol. Otherwise You would have stuck through it and passed the no drinking period with flying colors..
