Well ummm I just joined and I kinda built a reputaion of being a big drinker. Like when I go to a party I can't just drink to have a couple I drink to pass out and all that crap. But like a lot of it is being pressured into it. And I know its kinda stupid. I should have more will power but then I'll just get tanked. What I guess I'm trying to ask is how to I get rid or this rep? I'm known for having fun and usually being the drunkest person at a party and getting out of control. How do I stop that?

well, it's funny because I can relate to a little of what you are saying...even the other drunks at the party are judging you, so now u got the sober people hating on you and just because you get too drunk you got the drunks hating on u....talk about the pot and kettle...I guess all the other drunks have standards

Johnny, I've been drinking until I pass out so I get it. You should ask yourself this "Are you powerless with alcohol and is your life unmanageable? If you answer yes, then you need to stay away from alcohol. Since you already said you can't control the amount of alcohol you drink then thats enough to be worried.
think about aa.

Ok, my first reply didn't seem that helpful after I read it...I think what you are doing is called binge drinking, that is how my alcoholism started...you are on a dead end road..youve got to get off...the only way to change your rep is not drink...you said something about will power...if that's all it took there would not be any alcoholics, because we have more will power than anyone... we have will power to get up and show our faces after what we've done...we have will power to go to work when we've insulted our bosses while drinking or on hangovers...what I am trying to say is that alcoholics are not weak or weak minded... we are just alcoholics...I'm not saying that you are an alcoholic but that's sort of how I got on this dead end road

If you want to get rid of the reputation you must quit drinking. If your serious about quitting go to a meeting, and see if you can relate. Only can decide if the reputation stops.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
