I’m a drunk

[OrangeSunsets]

I need help. I can go weeks, days months without but i can’t stop when I start.
I open a bottle of wine then drink it. I have a few then don’t stop.
Does that make me an alcoholic?
I hate the thought of never been allowed to drink again. I can happily be designated driver but once I start I can’t stop.

If you can go months with no alcohol then drink one bottle then go months again without, then I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

What's the most you drink in one session? Why do you go from nothing to that? What is your behaviour drunk?

Sorry raffle but you're wrong. There is such a thing as a binge drinking alcoholic.

The issue isn't the periods op isn't drinking but that they can't control themselves when they do drink.

Binge drinking can also be dangerous physically even fatal.

Op well done for recognising you have a problem. Please get help ASAP.

There are many avenues and organisations, you could speak to your GP, go to AA, seek therapy...

I have a problem. I have drunk about 3 bottles tonight. I am beyond help.

I live In a Muslim country. Drinking is accepted for expats. I am
3 hours ahead of the uk. I am drunk.
I can go without. I don’t crave alcohol. When I start I can’t stop

No one is beyond help. And you're feeling like that because alcohol is a depressant and you've had a massive dose.

Three bottles is 24 -30 units of alcohol. Which is a massive amount to binge and very bad for you.

Why do you drink sometimes? Could you talk to someone about it?

I can go without. I don’t crave alcohol.

You are sober when you start to drink. You make the decision sober.

I make a. Fool
Of myself.
I simply can’t stop
When I statt

I always just want the one. Then I carry on

I don’t wake up thinking of alcohol. I don.mt need it
To
Have a good time:
I start the can’t Stop

You can't have one. So you have to find a way to not have that one.

There is no point hashing it out while you've been drinking. Wake up tomorrow, start a new thread and talk about it honestly. There is online support.

You are not beyond help. But you are clearly not happy and want to change Your relationship with alcohol.
I've been where you are and I'm so grateful I'm out the other side now. It wasn't easy but it is so worth the effort.
You will have a community alcohol service. You can find it on Google, put in community alcohol service and your area.
If I can do it you can

Oh love. Just sleep tonight off. Have something to eat and if you have anyone around to check on you then go and have a snooze. Worry about your alcohol intake tomorrow when the hangover has kicked in.
Stay safe and have someone check on you.

Op are you alone right now? I don't like to think of you alone having consumed so much alcohol, you need someone to keep an eye on you.

When you are sober again find the help you need.

Sorry OP just seen that you are not in UK.
In that case look for support online for now.
www.soberistas.com has been helpful to me.

My DH is asleep in the spare room.
He can’t stand my snoring; sober or otherwise.
The telly do need help
Don’t I?
I really wanted you all to say it was fine.
It isn’t Fine.
I need help.

OP strangers on the internet are not qualified to help you with this. Go to your doctor.

I don't have an answer but didn't want to read and run.

Go to bed for now. Sleep it off.

Do you drink alone or with others?
Are you happy with life generally? Perhaps look at what makes you yearn for that first drink?
But to answer, yes three bottles (on your own) is too much and not being able to stop after a certain amount signals a problem.

Look up Club Soda.
