i know. and it's the only solution. for me to stop drinking. but i don't want that, a life withour alcohol
Would you be willing to switch to beer? It's what I had to do. I cant handle liquor. I'm a sloppy, flirty mess.
(Well I still drink it ocassionally but not regularly anymore).
Also at least you feel remorse for your actions. My ex would say shit like feeling bad for the shit he fucked up while drinking. Then one night I told him to apologize for breaking a promise to his neighbor cuz I was trying to break up a drunken fight. Well his response was to call the cops on us, and later place a knife against my neck and kick me out??? He never really apologized. He said I was "a bitch to him" but he was "willing to forgive." Wtf???
I think your best bet is to not beat yourself up, but to be willing to hold yourself accountable and change.
that's what i do. i've stopped drinking shots n anything stronger than beer.. cause i know it never ends well
