You seem smart, but you really don't understand the disease.
You are a binge drinker with blinders. You are so bad of a drunk that this woman you have dated since college is leaving. That's how bad the problem is right now. This means that you are a incredibly volitile human being with incredibly weak coping skills. You're in an incredibly high pressure profession and this problem will only grow. I think you need to quit just to show yourself that you can for 6 months and find some other outlets. If you can't quit then you need to get help. It seems as though drinking is a very important part of your life.
How do you feel about not being able to control your consumption when you drink? I know it use to scare the hell out of me! The things I said and did were aweful and embarassing. You were obviously abusive to this young lady. How does that make you feel?

It sounds like you you need to see a therapist. Your drinking habit stems from some other unresolved trauma in your life or childhood.

This is someone that understands.
I feel terrible about what I've done, but it is what it is. I don't go out and get trashed when I have things to do for work. However, when I have the opportunity to cut loose I do.
ETA I have quit for months at a time to prove to myself I could... But I'm not going to quit all together. I just can't see myself living that life.

Okay, whatever you say. There's a huge problem in your life but you're blind to it.

No... I'm not blind to it at all. It's just something I have to deal with.

I haven't read through all 9 pages, but if you are 28 and getting blackout drunk 2-3 times a month, liver disease is almost surely in your future.

Living what life? Cutting loose and having fun without drinking yourself into unconsciousness?
Quitting for months isn't quitting. It's reslapsing.
Sounds like she made the right decision. You still have what is most important to you.

You can't change the past. Just know that your drinking will cost you dearly down the road. If you are having this bad of a time with drinking in med school then get ready because the pressure will only gets worst over time. Your work will eventually interfere with the drinking. Be prepared because "it is what it is".

You want it and need it. It's the only way you can cope. There is no such thing as controlling this bitch. If you can admit that at least then you made progress and this thread wasn't for nothing. Listen, if you can't control how much you consume then you don't control it!!!

Grow up. 28 is to old for all that. We all have choices, and it sounds like binge drinking was a deal breaker for her. Glad she got out before she married you and reproduced.
Posted on 11/1/14 at 7:45 am to LSU Tiger09
Honestly? Good for her. She doesn't deserve your shite. If you cant stop drinking for someone who you claim to care about then yes, you do have a drinking problem. It has affected your life and your job you just can't see it. A nearly 30 year old man shouldn't be getting blackout drunk. ever. Its time to grow up, prove you don't have a problem.
Trust me this is coming from someone who pushed away two different women that he loved because he couldn't stop and now hasn't had a drink in nearly 8 years.

Moderate or get help.
Posted on 11/1/14 at 7:54 am to LSU Tiger09
Yes you are irrational because you are addicted to alcohol. The SO was smart to leave you because of your alcoholism and your refusal to get well. It will progressively get worse and continue to have an impact on your life, career, relationships, etc. please get help before more people that care get hurt.

Do what you want. (Shrugs)
The world always needs more food service workers and luggage checkers.

Stop blaming yourself. She really wanted an excuse to dress up in a slutty outfit, get drunk and bang some other guy(s) last night. Your drinking was just the excuse she needed to cut loose.
Posted on 11/1/14 at 8:06 am to LSU Tiger09
Dude. Really! You do know the definition of insanity
don't you, sounds like you got it figured out, who am I to judge, just 32 yrs of sobriety, get some help before it's to late!!!!!
