Not sure if this is in the right place.
I feel like I've become reliant on alcohol. I don't always drink enough to get me drunk, sometimes I just drink to feel a little giddy, to try and forget about my shitty little life.
I don't even know why I'm posting this. I don't want to drink too much, but sometimes I want to forget, sometimes I want to damage myself.
Uh, sorry. Another moany thread from me.

Using alcohol like this can be very damaging. I recommend speaking to a doctor about this.
Will I always be able to stop?
Today I'm already thinking about what drink I could have later.
Really well done stopping yourself last night. If you could do it then, you can do it again.
Make sure you take some time to feel good about yourself when you do things well.
If you don't feel like you can speak to a doctor about it, make sure you're speaking to someone and keeping things open.
Have you seen the site Drink Aware? It has some useful stuff around cutting down drinking.

Danny, thanks for the website, will have a good look tonight when I turn my computer on.
I don't think I have a drinking problem, I just think I'm too reliant on it now, and I'm getting worse.
I haven't cut myself bad since I started relying on alcohol to make me feel a little happier..
Does alcohol make you put weight on? I never even thought of that. I want to drink, I like the feeling it gives me.. I don't want to put weight on..
I'm worried now, because I'm not sure if it's going to be easy.
So basically my choice is to put weight on, which I have been specifically trying to get rid of for ages, or stop drinking, which I don't want to do!
That doesn't mean drinking moderately will make you fat though, as with food, everything in moderation!
