Help what’s your relationship with alcohol

[loslassen]

I am in no way really knowledgeable, I don't believe I'm an alcoholic but, I just had the worst hangover of my life and i'm sure it's bc I drank with an empty stomach, but I mostly feel like shit because not even while drunk I could talk about my feelings (I've been keeping in that I attempted just a week ago and hurt myself) and I just cried like a stupid bitch and looked like a bad drinker. I kinda ruined the night for my friends, I think they love me too much to tell me but the looks on their faces I will never forget.

anyway I feel like shit, I'm getting alcoholic neuropathy, my pulse is super heavy, I'm cold and I feel nauseous as hell but I just wanna put it out here, what about others? feel free to share your experiences and thoughts :(

I occasionally drink. Hangovers are to bad the next day if I didnt get hangovers I would be drunk 24/7 as alcohol is the best to temporarily numb emotions but the next day is hell

Drink was probably the only thing that kept me going the last decade or so. For a few hours a week I could drown out my anxiety and stop myself from overthinking and relax but I had to drink more and more as the years went by to the point where the negatives outweighed any relief I got.
I've stopped drinking now and realise it was only a stop gap measure, my desire to ctb is stronger than it has ever been.

Drinking at 12pm lol. Not an alcoholic but it helps with feeling like I'm okay and normal. I don't care about anything as much

Fucking love It, one of the few things I still enjoy in life. Of course my family took It away after my last attempt, so it's been a month since I last drank. I think they think I only get suicidal when i'm drunk, which couldn't be farther from the truth lol

I don't drink alcohol.
I don't want it, I don't need it, and for some reason my body reacts very badly to alcohol. Even just a few beers can very quickly give me a stomach ache, nausea, and a general very bad feeling.
The smell of vodka automatically makes me want to vomit.

Also, the fact that in my closest environment I saw what alcohol can do to a person, completely turns me off.

My relationship with alcohol is love/hate. I'm a sober alcoholic.
I'm in recovery for many years.
I just couldn't stand cravings & the shakes, the massive hangovers.
I want to CTB especially when I'm suffering. So removing alcohol from my life removed 1 source of my suffering

Once every 6 months I unleash the demon and go on a 2 week bender. then I quit cold turkey.

I drink more than i should. Im not like getting hammered everyday, but having a small bottle of wine or a 6 pack every couple days.
Used to drink way more and way harder, been trying to cut back

I used to have periods where I drank too much, like a few bottles of wine each day for a week or two. But I was always able to stop myself from becoming fully dependent and then switched to cannabis for a weeks until I feared to become dependent to that. And that cycle continued for a while, sometimes with a few weeks of sobriety or only social drinking.
Got forced into addiction therapy, but luckily got out pretty quickly because I never got fully addicted to it and didn't have any issues with staying sober whilst in that ward.
Started drinking and smoking again after I got out, but to a lesser degree.
I'm 3 years sober and clean now, I'm silly enough without substance abuse anyways.
