So how many of you drink alcohol, and WHY?

Tweet

I will tell you honestly, I am an alcoholic, which many of you may know. And once I start to drink, I tend to post about it. It is just a natural thing I do when I drink. I like to feel I am not alone in this alcohol battle I suffer from Bipolar along with a few more mental illnessses, and one of the signs of my illnesses is drug and alcohol abuse. I sure have found this to be true. I seem to think my drinking is not a problem, although I have a failing liver. I don't think I will quit anytime soon. If anyone posts for me to quit, I will not appreciate your response. I want to hear from those others who drink on regular occations and why do you drink. I drink, and I don't want to blame my illnesses, but I must. I have been through so much trauma in my life and I NEED alsohol to control myself. Althouth I know others will tell me, 'there are other ways to deal,' but even after extensive therapy and medication, alcohol seems to work the best! I have since realized I AM an alcoholic, but that doesn't stop me. The only thing that will stop me is if I find a way to erase all the bad things that have happened to me. I have heard of people using hypnotherapy and they can erase your memories, but I am afraid they will erase many other GOOD memories. I am not asking for help for my alcohol problem. I am asking if anyone else has had to deal with this?
