It is tempting to have a drink or two, but personally, I am steering clear of the stuff.

ya i'm not doing so good, about a third a bottle of capt already tonight, wooooooo. i dont' drive anywhere and i drink alone and at home, oh wait that's depressing and probably worse. lol.

It can become an outlet for sure. I am having a beer right now but, I will sleep well and it is not everyday by any means. As long as you can recognize when it is a problem and address it I think a drink now and then is not all that bad.

so then all the time is bad right?

jf, personally, drinking all the time is bad. However, if you only have a drink now & then, it's OK. They say a beer or two a week cleans your kidneys out. Best of luck to you!~!

yeah.... all the time means you should probably distance yourself from that right now. try milk and cookies instead. if you can't.... than i guess it's a different situation. maybe one you should address.

I do like milk and cookies.

A continuous diet of Captain Morgan would probably not qualify as once in awhile.

so 8 or so shots a day is bad then?

Are you bored? Do you have enough physical and intellectual stimulation to keep you going? . . . No, I'm not talking abou THAT type of stimulation.

I drank everyday till it turn to night....so that when I got home I would just go to sleep and not dwell on anything. It was my way of dealing with things.
But now that I'm all better.....I only drink with friends...etc. I like Capt N' Coke myself.....but I drink less now then I first got separated....as long as its not interfering with your day to day life you should be ok in my opinion. Its when it alters your day to day life that its bad....

Okay, I'm going to distract you a moment for Capt. Morgan...I want to know where you got that avatar...and if they have all the Transformers.

thanks tek, and sarah, i can stimulate myself plenty, oh right you weren't talking about that. um, no i don't physically or mentally stimulate myself enough. most hte time i do a couple shots to go to sleep. or i'll just get drunk enough to not feel my legs, then i laugh about it and sit around.

Just remember alcahol is a depressant so drink in moderation if you feel you must. Best bet would be to avoid it altogether though.

Once in awhile is okay, but don't let become a new best friend.

Remember it will help you forget for awhile but when you sober up things will still be there and it is even worse with a hangover!

Try to stay away from it for awhile! Trust me I went throught it and things got better with a clear head.
