Alcoholism Support Thread - Down the hatch

[trent]

If you're coming into this thread feeling like you need to rationalize your alcohol consumption, ask yourself why you feel you need to come into this thread rationalizing your alcohol consumption?

Hey, I'd be thrilled to go on a bender once a month. Friday night with a sixer and a film sounds great.

I know that for me it's not once a month. I've been going to meetings, trying to make friends and dry out.

I can't let booze fill the empty hours. There are a lot of empty hours and there's a lot of booze.

If you look on the r/stopdrinking Reddit (I know, it's reddit, but they are one of the more normal subs) nearly every single person that ends up struggling to quit or relapses blames boredom.

The days are really fucking long if you can't just erase a bunch of hours by getting drunk. When I quit I was climbing the fucking walls trying to find stuff to do to fill my evenings but it does eventually even out over time.
