Sounds like fear. The best way to overcome fear is to slowly desensitize yourself to it. Do what you are afraid of over and over again, and your fear will grow less.

Sounds like fear.

When one becomes "alcoholic," ALL drinking is based on fear.

Having to be drunk in order to face the world, or any aspect of life in general, is a hallmark sign of potential alcoholism.

Anima, I hope that you haven't crossed over the line from which their is no return to "normal" drinking.

Here's a simple general test to determine if you have a "drinking" problem.
Have one drink of your choice. Pour yourself a second one. Can you take a few sips, walk away from that beverage and post here?

I pray your able to. However if you find yourself unable to do so there is help available to you.

Hi Anima,

Various folks here have battled with alcoholism. Some have won and others have lost the fight and drank themselves to death. I pray for you not to become a statistic.

Try logging in sober. You may find it more enjoyable.

I nearly drank myself to death. Finally decided to do something about it a few years ago.

Learning to accept myself and finding this site has been great therapy

Once you start facing everything head on, you'll find that there isn't as much to be afraid of or nervous about as you thought.  Log in sober.  And do it again and again no matter how much it scares you.  Pretty soon, you won't be scared at all.  *hugs*

Deadens the pain doesn't it.
Then after it takes affect it proves to be an awesome
social lubricant.
Then it kills us more each day until we diminish
and all that is left is the alcohol.
Been there, Doll.




"I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?" - Fred Rogers

Buddhism teaches us that fear comes from ego and ignorance, and fear eventually results in violence for protection. To know the reason of fear is a best way to solve problem, according to the Zen buddhism.

Too difficult? Me too  ;D

Just do it.

Gee, that's even a trans unicorn!  :)

Unicorns born unicorns have a beard, cloven hoofs, and a tail like that of a lion,  this one was clearly unlucky enough to be born with the body of a horse. Oh, the miracles of modern veterinary surgery!
