I think im developing a problem

[Maverick]

I know somebody here has gone through this shit,but Im catching it early,it isnt affecting my work or anything,but im on the quick road to a problem that I know.

see Ive been drinking a fuck load lately,3-4 times a week just tanked and the days I dont drink I take benzo's at night to relax or I cant sleep, now the benzo's are prescribed for that but I think I only need them due to the booze and how its affecting me.

my issue is how the fuck do I keep away from this shit so much, everyone I work with drinks like fish all the time ,they bug me every night to have a few ,and I turn it down some nights as I hated being tired and useless at work,but ive been giving in more and more.

whats some good advice from those who have been there, military bro's know this mentality,my work is the same ideal ,hard to say no

thanks guys

just make yourself EF dude #2 to check into rehab

My brother I have a friend who drinks as much as 5 liters of wine per day. I'm trying to get them help before it's too late. Alcoholics develop a tolerance and then more and more is needed to achieve the same effect and then the real trouble begins. DON"T GO THERE BRO. IT CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE

You have to learn to rationalize your stress especially on long hitches. If it is too much for you to deal with logically then you need to find a new occupation before this one destroys you. I turned to the drink a few years ago and found out the hard way that it doesn't do anything but mask your current problems and create more, so then when you sober up you have that much more shit to deal with. Learn to meditate, lose yourself in music, take up writing, and definitely hit the iron as often as you can. You just have to man up and realize that you are the only one responsible for your choices at the end of the day and no one can ever take that from you.

I think its a combination of all you said jen plus the stress from working 7 days a week not having a life.

but Ive been here before and I got it under control,I guess I just need to get myself in check from time to time.

Bino-the benzo's I didnt use to much,maybe a few nights a month when my natural tendancy for anxiety would act up . now its been a when I dont drink i need a sub.

medical-I hope I dont fall off into a big problem,I hope this is a bump in the road

I think the Anxiety is your issue that leads to addiction. It is why you are looking for something to keep you occupied. Look into thearpy to get your problems identified and then work on them. Figure yourself out.
