Loneliness and getting drunk

Discussion in 'Loneliness' started by Deleted Account, Jun 30, 2018.

  1. i be been alone all evening so I mixed some strong vodka drink. The odd thing is I rarely drink otherwise, not even socially but when I’m alone I really want to get drunk have some cigarettes and mope. I just don’t know why.

    Same here. But, I'm also an alcoholic. I'm not a drunk or anything, and I never day drink, but I've been a bartender for 22 years and stopping by the little bar a cpl blocks from my house is my only social outlet at the moment. I don't go there to meet women, as I live in a very small town and already know most of them. I usually just have 1 or 2 beers and a cpl shots of tequila, maybe play a cpl games of pool, and bullshit with the regulars. Then I go home and sit in the dark in front of my computer and drink another cpl beers and maybe 4 or 5 more shots. And smoke a few cigs. Just another way of feeling good temporarily and not thinking of how I'm not doing the things that could improve my life. Which leads to moping and feeling sluggish and shitty in the mornings. Which is when I usually PMO. Trying to put a leash on my drinking at the moment, which is a different struggle in itself. I'm sure your urge to get drunk, even if it's rare for you, is just your brain seeking a temporary rush of good feeling, even if you want to mope. Just depression shit. Not really sure if this has any relevance to your post, but it felt good talking about it anyway. I'm new here and struggling everyday with staying away from PMO, but I'm on day 4 today. It helps keep my brain occupied and full of positive thoughts to try and interact with people on here. Thanks for reading

  3. Keep posting Dude. We need to speak up. Feel free to anytime. Got to say it’s a roller coaster ride for me. Ups and downs, incredibly hard urges some days, peaceful easy days. Hard Dick days, limp days.
    Jump in for the ride but slowly slowly I’m feeling more and more positive after 23 day on nofap. Two resets.. it happens just don’t let a slip become a downfall. Get right back to it.
    Best of luck.

    Thanks man. Urges have been a little strong today, but I've pushed through. I stayed productive most of the day as far as working out and getting some stuff done. Last cpl hours have been on the computer but staying on this site and reading/replying to posts has helped keep my brain occupied with positive thoughts. One more hour till I go to work and I'm in the clear for 4 full days complete. Late night PMO has never been my thing fortunately. Especially after a few drinks. Just not in the mood for it I guess. Best of luck to you too

  5. Damn, loneliness is a killer. I do everything I possibly can (within reason) to avoid it. For me the loneliness pit is pretty much bottomless, and if I go in too deep there's no knowing what kind of depraved shit I'll do to try and escape.

    And as for alcohol, it'll only make every other addiction worse: that's been my experience as a sober alcoholic with 20 + months in recovery. I used to watch porn and jerk off all day when I was badly hungover. It was the only thing that could take my mind off the shitstorm in my head.

  7. Alcohol? Yes. PMO seems to as well.
