Alcohol

Jules

Is drinking a wearing experience for you? For me, like for everyone, the way I react to this depends on the type of the drink and my previous state (like if I have eaten anything or not) but it's not a pleasure! I feel like I need to focus more on functioning, I waste more energy. I feel as if someone hit me on the head - that's a perfect explanation of how I cope with alcohol. Does any of you react in this way? Is it a type of hypersensitivity? Do any of you react differently? 

Also, I hate how alcohol steals my ability to think, to notice things. I like thinking!

    I recently stopped drinking because I can't handle it anymore. I get drunk faster than other people do, and make a massive tit of myself and annoy people - I can't regulate my emotions when I'm drunk and become neurotic and erratic. I used to be an alcoholic in the past, because it helped me mask and act confident and extroverted... stopping drinking is quite lonely, because it isolates me from people who do drink, and means that I can't do nights out, parties etc (I can't cope with big groups of people at all without alcohol). It amazes me that alcohol is such a huge part of neurotypical socialising because it's so poisonous and makes people act like pricks.

    I agree with every word of what u have just said. I too stopped drinking because I was losing control.  Best thing I have ever done.  It is a large part of socialising by large sections of society because the drinks industry tells us everyday that is good to drink.
