If I had a bad day at work I would drink to feel better, if I had a good day at work I'd drink to celebrate it. Then of course weekend drinking to relax. Any excuse, really. Now that I am 6 months AF I feel like I am finally living life, not just living for the next excuse to drink. Your channel has helped me A LOT!! Thank you so much for all your work, it is a service to humanity!!

At first, to stop being awkward and to numb the anxiety. Then to keep up the appearance that I wasn't anxious and awkward. Then to keep feeling good. Finally to not have to think.

Hard choice. Basically to numb myself emotionally from any form of negative stress and have fun.

As much as I'd like to say loneliness and isolation I was more drawn to the euphoria and how it made everything more fun and enjoyable including music. I used to enjoy it more when I was buzzed. Alcohol did help with the loneliness of being in a new city in my senior year of high school and having no meaningful friendships. I would get drunk at any opportunity that I could get served underage. That was 30 years ago now.

It was habit. Ride home, pop into the shops and buy a 6-pack. Or it was the weekend, and I'd make beer part of my routine. Now 87 days clean.

I think it was just me chasing that happy drunk high. But we all know it starts with 1 drink to feel good, and then it gets worse the more you drink.

Equal parts coping with stress/anxiety and isolation/loneliness. I substituted going to the gym, which has helped a lot with stress and anxiety! Still working on the isolation, but being around other people at the gym is slowly helping ease the social anxiety so I can start actually going out again socially 👍

Dopamine for ADHD i think. Spent 30 years drinking and it never really occurred to me until 2 years ago.

I don’t binge drink or at least I don’t start out to binge drink and I’ve rarely done that but I have but not intentionally. I love talking to people and get to know them. So I’ll go to a brewery just to start conversations. I just get caught up in conversations with people and just enjoying the moment and I don’t want it to end so the beer drinking continues the more I get involved with other people. I don’t get hostile. I just get more talkative and even crazier, very energetic! Alcohol doesn’t take me down it actually jacks me up. Of course I could do this sober as well. It’s just a natural part of me. I definitely don’t need a social lubricant nor to drink to be funny, but it’s just become a natural part of the environment.
