I'll join you with the non-drinking thing, though I might not be of much help as I go without drinking anyway for weeks, some times months at a time. I had a draught beer last night at a restaurant in town, but that doesn't happen a lot.

Good god.

I am proof of the contrary.

Please be careful what you preach and who you preach it to...

You never, ever encourage someone to rely on drugs to overcome issues of anxiety or depression. That is what medical professionals are for. They should help the OP decide on the best course of treatment, not some stranger on the internet.

The OP has made a bunch of posts which talk to a potential pattern of abuse of alcohol. Do you think it is really smart to tell him it is ok to rely on consuming other substances to overcome issues? We are not debating your issues, drugs or anything else. I suggested he ask for some help. If you are using some sort of substance to help you function and don't think it is a problem, good for you. This is not about you.

Quite right - and that applies in all directions.

Blow it out of your arse. You log onto the interwebs and get all sanctimonious. Go start your own thread to be all high and mighty in. The dude just doesn't want to drink during October.

What's up with these hypocritical trolls. Thought schools went back.

You are just upset because you feel threatened by what I said. Does not alter anything I said. I am not trolling either, and he should really speak to someone. It's actually quite rich when someone attacks me personally. And you call me the troll? But, you want me to keep quiet because you feel like you are being judged? At least I have the balls to say something, instead of trying to placate him because of fools like you.
 
With my birthday coming up, I will make up for all the drinking you are not able to do this month :p

Thanks for trying to diffuse the situation EMAM. :x

People are attacking me because they feel like I am judging them. What they don't know is that I can write a book on alcoholism, recovery and the destruction it causes. I have not been an alcoholic, but I have been very close to it for my entire life. It somehow festers into our lives in a very real way, and it only comes to a head later in life. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and I don't think there is enough awareness out there about it. There are also different levels of functioning alcoholics. We think we can manage it, and have it under control, but 10 years down the line it's invaded and destroyed many areas of our life.

Use the advise. Don't. If I have given someone even a little cause to reflect, then I will be happy. Alcoholism or addiction is not anything I would wish on anyone.
 
Good Morning! My name is Mortymoose and I am a binge drinker! Today is day 13 of my sobriety!

And the God's do tempt me, I have been to three braai's over the last 13 days, drinking feckin water whilst my mates dulge in the barley, on Wednesday, I have two IT types coming to check something in the store and spending the evening at the bowling club braai...... One of my pals has his entire family coming up from the Cape to also join us at the braai...... That evening shall be my ultimate test....

Today in the desert, I am off and the weather is befok! with a light sandstorm which indicates a stunning afternoon for braai...... yet, I shall not yield...

My name is Mortymoose and I am a binge drinker...... :confused:
 
I haven't had a drink since 22 September. I'm on a fancy new medication, the purpose of which would be obviated by alcohol use. Don't miss it. Although a good beer on a cold beer will always be a delicious notion to me...
