Is being drunk an acceptable excuse?

I always thought alcohol was a bit like meditation.
Sort of letting the subconscious take over.

Some people in my town describe alcohol as "karmic transindental peace mixed with pubfighting".
Nice town... Well to see in your rear view mirror...

Seriously tho , I realised with drink that I'd never get the same "hit" or "rush" as an adult , that I used to get as a kid drinking.
Maybe thats why some people drink too much?

 

a friend asked me the other day why i feel the need to drink every day... i couldn't answer. i told him i am an overall happy, positive person... but alcohol has a grasp on me. so then i stopped drinking for a week. here i am today. i feel the same, really.

 

For some , alittle drink is good.It lets them relax , get more sociable etc.
With others , it just makes em talk shite , and have people avoid them.
So they only escape to another "prison"

 

i'm a little of column A, a little of column B...

 

and column C?

 

all the things i do when drinking are acceptable

 

It all comes down to childhood trauma.

 

well i thought there were only 2 options, lol

 

i know what i'm escaping from

 

I think column A is: drink in moderation.

Column B is: too much.

For everyone really, no matter how fucking exceptional they think they are.

 

Might be more than one thing, sweetheart.

Good luck.

 

yeah but do u know what youre escaping to?

 

Right.

In the end there is no escape.

Face it today, have more fun tomorrow.

Avoid it today, face it more tomorrow.

Both are equally inexorable.

 

nankurunaisa.. live for today but look forward to tomorrow

 

That is my exact story...I loved him and he used me. I got really hurt.


Except for the texting...there was no such thing way back then

 

Absolutely not.

 

Relayer, you described my behaviour pretty much down to a tee. And over the last couple of years, the extremely drunk/blackout type of night has been getting a lot more commonplace.

Last night, I did a lot of thinking and I tried to count up the amount of nights that I have blacked out. I got up close to 2 months worth.

That's ridiculous. 2 months of my life that I can't remember at all and that I had absolutely no control over. So I've been asking myself why.

The truth is I don't care enough about myself.

Things are definitely gonna change.

 

ohhh. ouch. you poor thing. hard to get out of that pattern when there isn't a new one to replace it. (((((hugs))))))

 

Thanks, I could make some pretty patterns with a woman like you.

Anyway, I will be replacing the drinking with some much needed excercise. I'm investing in a punchbag this evening.

 

I think it can be an excuse but it depends on how far you take it, really. Some people just use it as an excuse.. they could behave perfectly OK being drunk but take advantage of it.
