this is my first time here - its for in the morning but i've got the shakes, nausea and insomnia so sleeping's a no go. I'm 21 and at University. As you might imagine there's a big drinking culture here. I go out with my friends most nights, never intending to get drunk, but most of the time I just wake up the next morning not remembering very much. I've now started to reach for the bottle every morning and it just keeps going on a downward spiral. So I was basically wandering whether anyone else was in a similar situation? At the moment alcohol is really affecting my university work and my health. Also, my Dad's an alcoholic/ really heavy drinker...and I don't wanna wind up down the same path as him...
I'm thinking of trying to abstain for a while to get myself back together, but I hate the idea of going out and not drinking...I think I'd feel really awkward. The only alternative would just be to stay home alone and that would just be depressing. Either way I think I'm gonna find it hard to stay away from alcohol.
I'm out of ideas so if anyone has any opinions that would be great.
