drinking Alone

[cke123]

I just wondered what everyones thoughts were on drinking alone. I would rather drink alone than with people and wondered if that was common. the weird thing is when drinking alone, i call everyone in my phone book, so I am not really alone am I? Its weird.....

I used to (hopefully "used to") love it when the boyfriend would say he had to work late so that I could "drink in peace"

Can anyone relate?

OH YA! I was really good at that! Clean the house, blast the music and have a drink when I was alone was just fantastic! Don't know why though! I guess because no one is watching how much your consuming! No one is looking over your shoulder and you can be yourself I guess. I think it is very common.

Given a choice I'll always drink alone.
I don't like pubs and I can live with my own company.
I don't phone anyone, and I don't want anyone phoning me.
I just sit quietly with a CD on and drink.

Thats what I did, and I loved it when I didnt have to make and excuse to drink alone, you know, when someone else made it for me. I drank out with a crowd for a while, then went home and drank more, then got to a point where i skipped the going out part and just drank at home. I would get home from work and eat dinner then start my evening drinkfest. It is very common, and a lot of us were like that. It fit my lifestyle for a while b.c I was single, when i got a boyfriend, it got harder, and I woulld have to adjust my drinking time, which annoyed me. I would, like you, love it, when he would have something to do b/c it would not interupt my "routine". Don't worry, you just need to come up with a new routine to replace the old one, a "new habit" so to speak.

Best of Luck.

I PREFER TO DRINK ALONE TOO, UNLESS IT WAS WITH SOMEONE WHO COULD DRINK AS MUCH AS I CAN( VERY FEW PEOPLE,UNFORTUNATLY).

i ALSO LIKE TO CLEAN THE HOUSE AND LISTEN TO MY FAVORITE MUSIC WHILE DRINKING.

i DONT LIKE TO BE DISTURBED, ESPECIALLY BY SOMEONE NOT DRINKING

In my house I am the only who drinks. The only other folks who live there are my husband and two children. So really, although they are there, I do drink alone. Since the kids are in bed by 8:3- 9, they do not see me get smashed, and hubby says nothing. Trust me, I am alone.

Seriously I thought that I was the only one. When I was younger I loved to go out and party. Then it just became a ritual to drink at home. I just assumed that most people drank with others.

I always drank alone, don't like to go out. I too would get loaded and chatty,call everybody i could think of. try like hell the next day to figure out who I called and what I said.One time I was so out of it; I guess I thought I was going to die so I wrote a note to my family. I could barely read it, When I found it the next day. That was twisted
So disgusting!

Great thread CKE - good to know that many just hid away. I never hardly drank a thing in public.

Like Popeye, I preferred to not talk on the phone but have my time to me.

Simey Mary, I too have written such profound thougths down in an evening only to realize I couldn't read my own handwriting the next morning. AY YI YI!

It is so much better now!!

Alone was (notice the 'was') best. Nobody to entertain. Not that I could drink as much as I wanted, so much as I could drink it when I wanted. No more drink for drink and feeling guilty if I wasn't matching the pace. I could go slow or fast just as I pleased. AND go out and smoke when I pleased. AHHHH pleasures best forgotten. On to bigger and better things.

Ahhh yes, I would always prefer to drink alone..and yes, that is when I would drink and dial...a few too many times, I'm afraid. Good to hear I wasn't alone in that! :0)

I find I ALWAYS check my cell phone and home phone logs to see who I called and the length of time to determine what (if anything) I could have said. I agree that I love to drink alone cause I could drink however much I wanted, and yes, all the ciggies I wanted. I love (loved i hope) to watch Sex andthe City while drinking alone, it made me feel so sophisticated.
Funny, those ladies never had a drunken hungover panic attack....bitches... jk

CKE, it's looking like driking alone is a pretty common trait among us. Count me in on that. I hated getting wasted down town because I refused to drive (good) and hated always getting lost, and getting ripped off on how much drinks cost in restaurants. ( I don't like bars).
I used to get smashed at home and get so hyper I would race all over the place but never get anything accomplished...so frustrating...so I'd just drink more then wake up at 3am on the couch with the tv on.

I really don't miss that crap.

I love to drink alone that way you miss the judgement calls of everybody else. It is also a great time to escape into my own head and just be alone without all the stress and crap in my life. I miss the aloneness, but I sure don't miss the hangovers. Kim
