I think im developing a problem

Tell your buddies that you like to touch other dudes cocks when you get drunk.

I bet they won't peer pressure you into drinking after that.




...unless Lestat is one of your drinking buddies.

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.

what do you do when you lose the focus to hit the iron
2 years ago I lifted 3-4 days a week
ran 3-5 miles on alternate days
it wasn't the alcohol
it was the grinding depression
that sucked it out of me

You're the only one that knows how much of a problem this is becoming. If you're binge drinking regularly and are feeling like you're becoming dependant upon prescription meds, you may want to take a big step back and do what you can to change the behavior. I'm not saying you need AA, but going to a meeting or two wouldn't be the worst idea. I've gone to them. I don't go regularly, but they're helpful.

You're the only one that knows how bad it is, or how close to your wit's end you are because of it. I hope it all works out.

good luck bro, you'll be alright, you've got a good head.

That was me too.

And I don't know why a depressant seems to be such a good cure for the blues, but it can be a great numbing agent.

even if the peace is for 4 hours and then you have to deal with the ramifications for the next 24

Sometimes you have to figure out what it is that's bothering you. Sometimes that takes help, not necessarily professional help but a good friend to come kick you in the ass or put things in a different prospective. This spring I turned in my resignation at work because I knew it was the root problem in my life and I had finally had enough. Then some weird shit transpired and eventually they begged me to stay then fired me. Oh well at least then I was getting unemployment which helped fund a few months off that I used to really get back in touch with myself and the iron at the same time. You are going to lose the hunger every so often you just need to figure out what can be done to get it back. I understand about the depression thing I battled it when I first started college and was miserable every day. After about a year of it I decided no more and tried my best to do more things I enjoy, I cut out negative influences in my life (people, drinking too much, etc.). I tried to find people who I liked to be around and eventually overcame it and found inner peace.

Well, you can really draw it out and redefine misery with the white devil and an all-nighter.
