I've never been one of those popular girls that gets invited every weekend to events nor parties. My increased social life started just Dec 28. I'm currently 36 years old and have my own problems. I've been depressed and stressed out ever since my 2nd break-up and this current long-distance friendship going at a slow pace. My first ex boyfriend destroyed my years, destroyed my self-esteem, my confidence, everything. I've resumed psychological sessions.
On Dec 28, I went to a language club/bar to practice my French but instead most of us headed to another bar, stayed till 1ish am and I returned home very drunk. Then on New Year's Eve most of us got very drunk too. I had a hangover the following day for hours but eventually recovered.
On Saturday the 14 (a beach event with friends), I drank some too, got ditzy and it's like I was enjoying the moment. Lastly, I drank 3-4 cocktails this past Saturday. My mother is currently super worried and upset. She said that's how alcoholics start like. I've never drank 4 times (Dec 28, Jan 1st, Jan 14th and Jan 21st) and in less than a month. I'm overdoing it right?
I'm going to cut off now until my b-day, which is on April 7th. I have to admit now that I'm starting to miss it. The next party is this Saturday and I won't be drinking anything.

Alcohol and noise will never fill the void you currently have. Only filling it from the spirit will do that. It's interesting how many are attracted to the wrong kind of spirit to attempt to feed which is often spiritual. if you continue on this route, in time you will create a much deeper void. it is meaningless, serves no purpose and the others doing it unwittingly try to draw others into it because it helps them rationalize the mistakes they are making in trying to fill the same void.
Its a issue if u strategy to feel like u need to rely in it or u are not in control when drink I. e blacking out or not remembering parts of the night before apart from that I wpuld say your fine
I would say with the last update it's a little concerning if u feel the only way to feel at your happiest is when intoxicated
I don't have any episodes of blacking out nor forgetting things. I tend to be a good, kind drunk and can still hold long conversations, still aware of my surroundings and take a taxi to return home.
However, I just discovered just last Saturday that my body can now long longer. I don't get drunk after 2-3 cocktails. In the New Year I had 5 cocktails and 2 shots.
Yes I'm kind of concerned too. For instance on Thursday when I went to an event and only drank water (because I had work the next day), it felt awkward and I wasn't that happy as in the New Year. This Saturday I'm not going to drink either and it's going to feel awkward too. Most will be drinking except me, sucks.
Have somthing like cider or a singular beer why be awkward its still u when you are drinking so why be awkward without it
I'll be honest. On the New Year, my plan was specifially to party all night long and get drunk. I went for the heavy drinks for that reason. I know it's still me but I guess it's the sensation of being on ditzy while holding the conversation or dancing nonstoppable.
In addition I really hate beers. I prefer the strong cocktails with some sweetnees into it.
Fair enough
Just don't get addicted to the feeling ot need to have fun by being drunk
