I've read through this entire thread and I'm interested in Johnny Pyro's reactions. Infact, a tear came to my eye reading some of these posts. I'm 20, came to college at 18 with the idea that I wouldn't drink cause I hated the taste of alcohol. That changed 5 weeks into my freshman year. I'm not starting my Junior year and I've been through the "getting drunk everyday of the week cause its fun", drinking because I have nothing else better to do, or drinking because it helps me get laid but it doesn't help me perform.
I've been back at school for 21 days, of those 21 days I've been drunk about 10 of them. I realized I was becoming an asshole, alienating myself from people in the midst of the "partying" and decided to take a break. Unfortunately I took that break on a Wednesday and started drinking again on Friday night (I don't remember much after midnight) and about twice as much on Saturday night. All day sunday I felt 'still drunk' and didn't reach a hangover till about Monday afternoon.
I've been able to stop drinking, I stopped for about 2 months this summer but that was due to the fact that I didn't have access to alcohol. But as I shortly turn 21 I fear that I might have the problem of buying booze "just because". I mean, I've already setup the plan to only buy alcohol with cash and not credit card so that I don't buy it on a whim (I rarely carry cash).
What do you guys think I should do? Or should I just keep reading?
and Johnny, I'm proud of you!
