    drinking Alone

    I used to live across from the sake factory and they had tastings everyday.
    after the 30th or 40th time of going. The guy doing the tastings said. (not kidding) bring a jug and i'll fill it up and you can take it home and drink it.

    I was like ummm good idea

    I should have been embarrased

      drinking Alone

      Oh yeah!.... Ive drank alone for last 4 years, dont want the hassle of judgement, used to go out clubbing n stuff, gotta behave then. Downside to drinking alone in my experience, same as yours is, then I start txting and ringing people (they dont like that do they???????? ) so I agree drinking alone is not a good idea. Shall we all just chat on here? I think so, and count the money saved.............. chin up sweetie ...xx

        drinking Alone

        I should correct that, I did drink alone, did Rehab 3 yrs ago, BUT drank for 4 yrs alone before that.... its defo a mugs game........... no controls, tolerance increases then, no boundaries, no hassle, as I know. In a way, if you drink with others at least it is some kind of boundary.... just a thought. As we both say, you really do not want to drink alone, you want to drink secretly alone, and ring and text people who cannot see the real you and how much you are really drinking........... NOT judgemental, just my confession... hugs n kisses xxx Julia xxx

          drinking Alone

          Thankfully I have (had) people I knew that were going to be as wasted as me so I could call them and we could drunk talk for hours if we wanted to. Out of state though, so still expensive. My hubby would HATE IT. He hates those people from my past. Past drinking buddies (men and women) don't necessarily "fit" in my life anymore. Still, it was embarrasing when you don't remember who you were talking to or what was said.

            drinking Alone

            Hi, yes my husband works 18 hour days so guess what - I am alone every night with the kids and was hitting the bottle in secret - ready to have a fight with him when he got home but told him 'no, i haven't been drinking!!!' most indignant.
            Just believe - that's all you have to do

              Hide the bottle/can

              I always play a game with myself trying to figure out where I hid the wine bottles or empty beer cans from the last week. Sometimes I find them in my closet, sometimes behind the toilet. I am a master of disguise and I hate it!!
              As far as the phone goes, I have post-its all over my agenda telling me what I said the night before so I can remember.

                  holly I did the same thing with a friend and was so so sure that she was projecting on me.
                  I was so adamant, and told her that she was the one with the drinking problem.
                  the next day she called and said " you were totally wasted last night".
                  I felt sooo gross

                    Drinking alone and shopping online is a dangerous combo as well. After living away from old friends, it does get expensive to call, especially if you don't remember your conversation ... my oldest sister is usually a bit lit after 6 pm, so I never call her at night, besides one of us should remember the conversation! Anyway, drinking, puttering around the house, flipping through magazines, it's fun. I've found things that I don't remember having cooked in the fridge in the morning!

                      drinking Alone

                      Alone was always definitely the way to go for me. My husband is not a drinker and I always tried to hide it from the kids and friends. So I would go out with them and drink one glass of wine and then secretly go home and get wasted when the kids were asleep. Who knew what I was really doing?
                      Alone is also the hardest to overcome. If nobody knows you are doing this, then nobody can really help you stop - unless you are totally honest.
                      The hardest one to be honest with is yourself. Once you've dealt with your own worst critic (yourself), then you will be surprised how forgiving others will be. Remember that when we drink in hiding or "alone" there is one person who we are not hiding it from - ourselves.
                      The fact is that we all do it or have done it at least one time. That's just the way it goes. The good fact is that we won't need to do it anymore!
                      Keep posting - stick with the site. You won't be drinking alone forever.

                        drinking Alone

                        Drink alone oh yer and loved it !!!!!

                        One of my stress relief's from the kids I use to go to the local club once every few months and play the pokies pretty funny looking back I would order 2 big beers to start with cause the first one would be finished by the time I sat down and I needed the 2nd one straight up and I would sit and play, drink, smoke and have a wow of a time and not talk to anyone, and I loved those afternoons.

                        We have a wine cellar under the house VERY DANGEROUS.....had many nights crawling under to grab another bottle hoping I didn't come face to face with a big brown snake or a possum.

                          I can relate to all that has been posted. I have been the one to drink and call everyone I know, and clean the house. But ,I don't do that anymore. I would rather be alone at night so I can drink and smoke as much as I want with no one watching me. (I did quit smoking Sept. 2006,) but, I still think and desire it with a glass of wine. There was a time I enjoyed drinking, smoking, listen to music and dance. Now, I rather just drink wine, and then I have no motivation for anything. I'm in a rutt I need to get out of. The answer to your question is: Yes, I do like to drink alone!

                            oh, to drinka lone! my partner is a drinker too, and still... I treasure my drinks alone!!
                            And no way I could do social stuff if it didn't revolve around drink... that's part of what makes me feel like such a freak.

                                Yes sometimes I drank alone but it ended often that I spoke in phone for hours or went out down town drunk. In the pain next day and regrets everybody is alone.
                                Alcohol has that affect on my that I get depressed and very lonely many weeks after.
                                Good luck and you are not alone.
