I don't drink often, but when I do I get ridiculously drunk, I become a monster. Im surrounded by some of the best people in the world, but I always end up doing or saying something i can hardly deal with the next day, aside from that, they are more than forgiving. I just recently had a bout of this for my birthday. I generally think this is because I bottle my feelings and the only way I know how to release them is by blacking out and throwing a temper tantrum or sobbing. Its crazy because I'm a grown man. I hate it, i actually hate it. Its like I never grew up, a child stuck in an aging body. I tell myself it wont happen again. Then after months i go out for a beer or a drink and wake up embarrassed seeing flashes of this animal mixed with absolutely nothingness. Wondering what i did or said. While not really wanting to know. If any of you are dealing with this or have, what helped? I dont mind if you Share some embarrassing moments you've dealt with or just how to deal with it. Thanks, this place is the only place I know to ask because I don't have anyone else to talk too.

Heres an idea. Stop drinking period. By the way one of these times you will kill someone when you black out. Just so you know blackouts are not a defense in court. The guy that killed my brother tried that and he is still in prison 33 years later. Let me tell you that is pretty good considering I am in Canada and you dont hear of many people doing that kind of time here.
If you dont stop drinking that is where you are headed.
Im sorry to hear that, really. And it shouldn't be a defense that holds up period. Thanks for not beating around the bush. Sometimes its the harsh reality that sticks the most.
