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.

It sounds as if you perhaps do not have the oft referred to "addictive personality" but perhaps you have a "binge personality"... You refer to yourself as a "grown man" so it is not inexperience.... so perhaps find something healthy to binge on. Exercise, Research, helping others, nature photography... Something positive!
Thats a great idea. I have lost alot of my life in numerous ways. So it seems I am acting out childishly to fulfill that lack of childhood. To make matters worse I was constantly bombarded with negative things in the last 5 years or more. Im not sure what my outlet will be, but Im going to try.
Gummies! There’s a lot of different kinds.
Best advice, look at what is around you... Easy access. Is there a bike/exercise path nearby? Are there accessible wild areas and park lands? University libraries where you can get a community card... PAL programs?.... Cooking classes? Try to keep the threshold low so your new activity is easy to do at a moment's notice.
