I think I have a problem.
If I start drinking, I don’t stop. I don’t drink every day of the week. Perhaps, once in 3 weeks. But when I do, I just don’t stop. I always drive back when I am drunk. I know that is terrible and irresponsible, but I still do it. That’s why I think I have a problem. After I get drunk, I try and chat up random women. With no sight on any outcomes, but I go looking for women to talk to randomly. I am married. Happily, at that. I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with me. I feel miserable the next day. What should I do? Should I see a psychiatrist?
Try going to a few different AA meetings. See what you think of them and if you hear anything that makes sense.
Sorry for being blunt, but you shouldn’t drink if you can help it. If you can’t help it, then yes, consider counseling. It’s especially concerning that you must drive when drinking. That’s incredibly dangerous and could take the lives away from multiple people. Not worth it. Agree with trying AA. Might be a good option for you.
I am a bit hesitant with trying AA because I think I am not an alcoholic. I know that’s what every alcoholic would say, but I don’t have the urge to drink everyday. AA is very depressing too, right? Not judging anyone- just saying that probably I am not that into the abyss of my life.
Go try a few meetings. Just for information. Then decide.
Yes it's an issue. Immediately go to a therapist. You seem to maybe have some attributes of NPD, but not on full. It's fixable. But go now. Before you hurt someone and while you have a chance to pull this out
You are dangerously close to ruining your life. Seek help
:( Doing that !
Take your wife with you. Ask her to spank your butt each time you flirt with random women and also be your driver. Hopefully she doesn’t have the same problems as you do !!
No, she doesn’t have any problem at all! She is so much more responsible that I am. That’s what fucks me up the next day most. Why do I do this!
Take her with you to these parties / meetups. She will ensure you aren’t flirting and would also drive you back home safely.
Agree with all of you above. The driving back drunk is something I just don’t know why I do it. Yesterday was the latest. I drove into opp way in a one way lane- Thankfully the traffic wasn’t too heavy and I was able to quickly maneuver my way back. I don’t know who should I seek help from!
One wrong move and you can ruin your life. Or of others, even strangers. Not worth it. Just quit drinking. Edit: also just realized I'm making an app to help people recover from drinking addictions lol
you are danger to society. seek help. also you are not happily married.
“After I get drunk I try to chat up with random women with no sight of outcomes. I feel miserable the next day”. Sounds like you are doing more than just talking !!
When I am drunk and I chat up random women, I am so fucking drunk that I start slurring. Women are drunk too so it doesn’t really matter then. Next day, I question myself for such a weird behavior. I seek women to talk to! I don’t know why!
Apart from driving drunk, this all seems ok and normal. It’s natural to be attracted to other people.
Lol! Thanks! Noted!
