Who drinks? Is this the guy or the girl talking???

I feel like this is my secret. I drink every day because I want to feel emotions, and I can’t feel emotions unless I drink.

If you don’t drink for a 2 months everything will fall back into place. you will have normal emotions. crying when you are drunk is not having emotion…it’s just being emotional. I spent 2 years living this way. I truly believed this. I’m not in AA or anything else. I just quit drinking when i realized how much this was controlling my life. my thought process. for the first couple of weeks it sucks but when you actually hang out sober with drunks you start seeing things differently. when people have “heart to hearts” its rather annoying. drinking is not who you are. alcohol is what it wants you to be. good luck.

i definitely feel you on that. sucks, eh?

no one is getting this, i realize. whoever made that— he or she doesn’t FEEL. i’m gonna go out on a limb and assume it’s a girl here, ha. she doesn’t drink to not feel, she doesn’t do it for the numbing effects– it’s so that she CAN feel– happiness,sadness,etcetera.

perhaps her walls are built up so high, she can’t even scale them anymore.
i know the feeling.

I feel exactly the same way. I’m a man, and since I hit puberty I haven’t been able to cry almost ever unless I’m really drunk.

Not an emotional person. Nor am I a drinker past the occasional beer. Because of a long story I dont care to explain, my mind associates control and emotion together. If there is no emotion, there is control. Its ingrained that emotion equals a lack of control. I KNOW that its not neccesarily true, but I made that association when I was quite small. Things like that tend not to go away. Anyway, back to topic…never did getting around to finding an outlet.

I understand completely. I don’t drink often but when I do I can actually feel. Other than the times I have drank, I haven’t felt anything strongly in over 4 years

I drink because it makes me not feel emotions. It makes me black out, sleep with strangers, drive drunk and lose respect. But it’s all worth it not to have to feel the pain of my life not being what I want it to be.

right there with you. im more likely to cry about a guy than i am at a funeral

i’m not an emotional person. i tend to be sarcastic, funny and have a dry sense of humour. recently when i drink i cry and cant stop. i no longer feel like the tin man (or woman) but it hurts. a lot.

I drink and/or do drugs to not feel any emotion at all. With everything Ive been through, drugs and alcohol are the only things that make me forget and actaully be able to have a few moments of almost contentness, and while it sucks to have to rely on that to be ok, being sober hurts tooo much :/
