Man I'm really enjoying this thread and can relate to both drinking too much and destructive physical behavior. I talked about my concerns with the effects my drinking might have caused here http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-18604.html
Some good info in there. I've considered quitting in the past but like you BB decided I'd be better off controlling it. I definitely drink less than I did at 21 but I still drink too much and am going to curb it more. I would actually be ok with how much I drink when i go out for the most part but I need to stop drinking at home alone. Sometimes I think I drink alone because I'm bored and sometimes because I'm not happy with my current living situation and $$$ situation. I definetly drink to unwind after a long 12-16 hour shift at work but it shouldn't be one of the 1st things I do after getting home. Also a beer or screwdriver in the shower is not uncommon in the evening for me.
Just this past weekend I played poker for 14 hours at the casino and pretty much drank beers the whole time, had a blast... My game seems to be pretty good when drunk as I don't give 2 shits about anything and I guess I get an Alpha caveman style going as I had 1 dealer promising to bring me in a dinner the next night and one 8-9 waitress really let down her guard and started qualifying herself to me (again with cooking for me or something, idk can't remember, ha). So how was that dinner the waitress made for me? IDK cause I was in bed the whole next day with a shitty stomach and couldn't bring myself to make it to the casino.
The thing for me is I have fun getting drunk, even by myself. Or getting drunk makes things more fun...
I want to lower my alcohol intake for health reasons, $$$ reasons and because I have impressionable young family members around often.
So yeah I probably have some things to work through but enough about me. I really wanted to say I'm enjoying the thread, keep doing your thing and I'm looking forward to your next update. (Not trying to hijack your thread but this forum is starting to be therapeutic for me.
