Advice About Drinking

Marty Brenner - 12/6/2007

I've started drinking at a young age and I think for the most part I am in control of my habits, but it really eats at me when I'm not drinking. Everything else seems so dull. I'm surrounded by drinking in my environment and it will be impossible to escape that because I am an active, enlisted in the military. All I'm asking is maybe some advice to help curb my habits or any advice whatsoever.

My advice to you is to figure out why you see the world without drinking so dull and boring? I know a lot of people who are in the military that don’t drink who are active and enjoying a healthy life. It sounds like you are not in control of your drinking; your drinking is in control of you. This is because when you are not drinking you’re craving it, and it eats at you. Have you considered you might have a problem with drinking and use the excuse that you are in the military and surrounded in this environment, or have you put yourself there on purpose? The first step I would suggest would be to find a therapist on base to talk to. Most people who are not addicted do not seek out help to curb there habits.
