I am a 20 year old student and I've noticed that whenever I drink, I drink too much. It's not the frequency of drinking but the amounts I drink. Alcohol is nothing new for me, I started drinking as a 16 year old, and to be honest, I havent previously had this problem. It is a much more recent problem, about last half a year has been really bad. I only drink socially, never alone.
I don't really get hangovers, only slightly dizzy the next morning.
I probably drink a lot because of a mediocre self asteem. I don't have any problem with my family, or friends, I've had a good childhood and so on. I am not depressed (although probably a bit lonely). I am not stupid, so I've tried all obvious things. I am not shy but I do have some difficulty getting girls. I have bad self control (obviously).
I've tried counting bottles, mentally agreeing that I would stay at a certain amount, only taking a certain amount of bottles and many other things, but eventually I either lose control, get drinks from friends or think that I am too sober and start accelerating the amount of drinks, which eventually spirals out of control. So much that I tend to have very little memory of the later hours.
This morning I woke up all bloody and had some faint memories of a fight, I had a note from the police in my pocket which contained the contact information of the person that attacked me. I've never been in a fight before.
So. I've now opened myself to a forum full of complete strangers. Any innovative solutions would be nice. Writing this is probably a good start.
Thanks
