Re: Drinking advice

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT but I think alcohol was this for my mom because we both had crippling anxiety, but I don’t drink because her drinking killed her. Also one of the things I’m most anxious about is losing self-control; I hate even the idea of drugs and alcohol because I don’t want to relax if it means not having it. But while I don’f think of myself as witty, I get mistaken for drunk/high sometimes because I’m weird and frequently have no filter despite my anxiety. It’s not that I don’t care what people think of me, I’m just bad at self control already so I’d be scared to experience anything without even my modest checks on my id.

I'm sorry you and your mom went through that, anon. It must have been incredibly difficult.

You're probably right. I think a lot of the time when someone gets very deeply hooked on a drug, it's because it "fixes" something that hurts them. It's not like an SSRI or whatever that kinda maybe makes you feel better. It's like a miracle. Everything is unambiguously better right away...until it isn't. And then you discover you broke a window, cut your head open, spit in someone's car, and pissed off all your friends. :(((

IMO you're very wise to avoid alcohol given your anxiety and your family history with addiction. Good for you.

What's interesting is that being drunk seems like it can go either way. On the one hand, there's people like me who feel miraculously "fixed" by it. My problem is that I'm too in control all the time. I'm so controlled I can barely move. Alcohol "fixes" that. Suddenly it feels easy and fun to do whatever fool thing comes to mind. But OTOH there are people who say they hate it because it makes them feel out of control. It's definitely possible you'd fall into the latter camp.

At first I couldn't fathom how anyone could not love the feeling of being drunk. But then I discovered that I HATE the feeling of being high. It is a horrible, horrible time for me. Which really made me realize exactly how different these altered experiences could be person to person, since so many people get so chill and have such a good time when they're high.

Anyway, good for your for exercising caution with yourself, anon. And I'm sorry about your mom.
