so have you actually TRIED to go out and just have a few drinks socially and not get drunk?
do you know that you can't because you have tried and can't do it?
jjust because you don't like some of the negative effects that have seen from alcohol does not mean you are an alcoholic.seien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

Any kind of addict fills a void with a substance. Be careful that you have other ways of filling that void or else you will spiral into addiction. For instance I know what smoking did for me and I still don't have something to fill that void and am having to battle the urge every day.

i need to keep shit all in one place. you can always call the direct bedroom line ju
and youre right about filling the void. its easy for someone with addictive traits to transfer it to other areas of your life
and speaking of filling the void, how is that tender mouth of yours?

im annoyed at how much snow Colorado and the PNW has gotten already, and Tahoe only got their first legit storm the other day.
I had the best opening day ever at Northstar on Saturday though.
As for filling you time, get some friends that don't drink and find some shit to get into.Originally posted by Beej '86 325esevery time an M-tech 1 spoiler is destroyed, a baby seal dies.87 325:83 jetta coupe:99 volvo c70:99 volvo s70Originally posted by JparkrThe last thing we need are more of the retards on here thinking they are engineers too.

Stuff like pacing yourself all day for tailgating is a skill and let's you enjoy the luxury, and having someone else designated driver is good planning / responsible.
Along those lines, you can still go out and just be the sober one. A lot of bars will give you free soft drinks if you say you are DD. You can still tell jokes and meet people, and remember them if you do and friends appreciate it, even though some will abuse it. One of my good friends now drinks a fraction of what he once did and does this when people around him party... and reads the bible a lot / plays guitar in spare time when he's not studying.
If you can't control yourself not to have a drink when you have determined you won't, that's pretty weak. Being able to control urges is important other places too... like being able to say no to sex if there's no rubber. Or not getting in a fight when you are pissed at some punk. The ability to say NO to yourself or to others is a skill you hopefully picked up becoming an adult. Hell, you can get out of hand with spending or shopping but doesn't mean you should go naked because you instead of going to the mall. Avoiding a will power problem leads to instilling the thought you cannot control yourself and will probably screw up somewhere, even if not alcohol until you learn self control.
If you go out, either take a cab there and practice just having a few. If you fail, you have to cab ride back. If you succeed, congrats - fare back and forth is cheaper than getting it wrong and crashing / getting a DUI. A lot of bad situations involve poor judgement or planning before drinking even begins.
If you can't handle yourself, sorry to hear that.
Like Nando mentioned with a kid, save up and get a house if you don't already. Those sonsofbitches will keep you busy almost as much as a project car.Last edited by rwh11385; 11-24-2009, 09:43 AM.
