I Just don't know
For years now, I've struggled with drinking and regulating my emotions. I feel like I'm often okay when I'm out with friends for dinner/at home. But when I enter that nightlife environment, something happens. I tend to end up in arguments with random people or the ones closest to me. Maybe I struggle with finding my limit because when I enter that environment, everything says I'm good to keep going. I've come to a point that I no longer want to deal with this behavior because it's starting to affect my relationships. I want to go out and have a good time, but something happens 50% of the time.
@adventurousTortoise6163 Hi there, welcome to 7Cups! I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling. You show great self awareness of your behavior in particular scenarios. How are you doing now?

In recovery, sober for almost two years, that used to happen to me, I made a mess out of my life I even started drinking during the day, at work, I've come to realized that even tough some days I'm able to stop drinking at a certain point, there's others when I can't, but I can't risk it anymore, so just for today I will not drink!!
I'm here to help, should you ever ever need it!
@MelG919 I'm a day drinker too! And I hiiiide it. I hate my lack of self control but I love your mindset!
@adventurousTortoise6163 I'm in the same boat and recently I noticed it getting worse when I go out with friends, I just say hurtful things or stupid things that ruin the relationship. Many times I don't even remember because I drink to blackout. I can't figure out what causes me to do this, it's not all the time but I don't think it should be happening at all. I'm scared to think this means I might have a problem. I wish I could just realize my limits. Dealing with regrets from blackout mode is painful.
